I don't recall reading anything in the README that said I had to uninstall
the previous version of Wine. I think it would be a good idea to not only
include a note to that effect, but to include the uninstall as an optional
task within ./tools/wineinstall.

interstingly enough, it's only the libs in /usr/local/lib that don't get
replaced - the wine binary in /usr/local/bin *does* get replaced during
the installation process.
