[Wine] Internet explorer

[Randall Walls]

I ended up moving everything in the ~/.ies4linux/ie6/directory into my 
real wine c directory and then making a symlink in ~/.ies4linux/ie6/ 
that pointed to it. This seemed to make the most sense, especially when 
it comes to the fonts I have installed in windows/fonts - I want these 
available system wide and didn't want to have to keep a copy in 2 
places. YMMV.
