Parameterizing the places Wine suggests people report bugs

Hi all,
There are a couple of places wine suggests that people report bugs to
wine-devel. The crash reporting dialog in winedbg suggests this, and a
couple of places in code refer to wine-devel at winehq.org in error messages.
The configure script has a PACKAGE_BUGREPORT macro which could be
used to allow someone building wine to redirect those errors somewhere else.
At least for wine's crash dialog, an alternate approach for a
repackager to redirect bug reports would be to read the url / email
address for where to send bugs from the registry.
Would Wine accept a patch for making winedbg read the 'destination'
for bug reports from the registry or some other runtime variable? Or
would the project prefer to have all the bug reports routed directly to
winehq, so that a repackager who wants to re-route bugs would have to
build that facility on its own?
