Not to be rude, but chown -R user:group $dir isn't exactly rocket
science. Also, using find $dir -uid 0 is pretty straight forward stuff
as well. It wasn't until I ran cvs in my home dir that it worked. Again
though, I must point out that I've never grabbed a tarball. I always
pull from cvs.

It's a moot point anyway, since wineinstall barfs on not being able to
find my mounted windows directory.
