wineapploader in wine64

Hi,

Any explanation for why the wineapploader script doesn't use 'wine64' 
instead of 'wine' in a 64bit Linux with 64bit wine? That's the script 
that is used to build /usr/bin/wineboot and /usr/bin/regedit, for instance.

In Fedora 15 with wine 1.3.24, the upshot is that the 'wineboot' command 
doesn't work. /usr/lib/wine/wineboot.exe.so is not installed; only 
/usr/lib64/wineboot.exe.so is.

Since the /usr/bin/wineboot is running 'wine' instead of 'wine64' it is 
looking for the 32bit /usr/lib/wine/wineboot.exe.so. It can't be found 
since it isn't installed so the loader gives up.

> $ wineboot
> wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe"

If it used wine64 instead, it would work.

There must be a reason that wine64 is starting 32bit apps, but I haven't 
been able to glean anything from the web.

Thanks for any info,
