[Wine] Re: [AppDB] modify installs and runs fields

["Alexander N. Sørnes"]

Can we not add another rank for the out-of-the-box-running 
applications?  Most people will be interested in how well an application 
can be made to run, and will not care if that means adding a single DLL 
override, especially if the DLL is installed together with the application.
Leaving just two levels to tell how well an application runs does not 
give a good overview; there are for example many games that work 
flawlessly in single-player mode, but not at all in multi-player mode; 
and some require a no-CD crack.
