	Running Fedora 10 fully updated, I have only ]$ rpm -q wine
wine-1.1.15-1.fc10.i386

	Is that any use? I still remember enough about dependency hells 
from the bad old days to be reluctant to get out of synch with my 
distro ... (I don't even know what a WINEPREFIX is, myself; but there 
must be quite a few other Fedorans out there who do.)
