Yes.

But I just don't know what is this that I'm doing. The wiki guide says this is not a good idea, while the README file says I should do it... Or maybe I misunderstood it all! [Shocked] 

You should NOT make install when running a regression test. Run the Wine you've compiled from the wine-git directory.

That renames ~/.wine to ~/.wine-backup. This way you can test your app in a clean wineprefix, and when you're done, just restore your old one by renaming it back to ~/.wine.

No, because you're not installing the version you compiled.
