[Wine] Does wine enable logging and if so can I disable it? And how do I remove log files?

Wine's "logging" is nothing more than printing messages to stderr. The
only way you get a log file is if you redirect stderr to a file, like so:

 wine program.exe &>wine.log

Since you create the log files, they're easy to remove with:

 rm wine.log

or some such command.

If you don't want any output at all, set the WINEDEBUG environment
variable to -all, like so:

WINEDEBUG=-all wine program.exe

Then none of the FIXMEs, ERRs, TRACEs, etc. will get printed to stderr.
