Wine installer

[Peter Kirk]

I did not do the script, but I had a look at my alias as user, sure enough I 
have:
alias which='type -p'
this is on SuSE7.2, and I did not put it there. So, to come back to the main 
topic, why on earth does wineinstall think I have wine (I run the wineinstall 
as root, of course, so wineinstall gets more than an empty path)
