Maybe I am beating a dead horse.  Chapter and verse is:

# check whether wine binary still available
if [ -n "`which wine`" ]; then
  echo "Warning !! wine binary (still) found, which may indicate"
  echo "a (conflicting) previous installation."
  echo "You might want to abort and uninstall Wine first."
  std_sleep
fi

so if "which wine" produces any output - even a carriage return, it
provokes that message.

which wine | od

to see, or just cut the offending stanza out of wineinstall and run it
again.  wineinstall is only a tool, it can't think for you and doesn't
pretend to.  Ove and Chris, feel free to argue the point.

Wine is not windows :-)
