Also... it would be nice if there were a central commandline way of changing wine settings, kind of like 'net' is a central way of manipulating networking.
I've been thinking that winecfg should have a commandline interface, too, and making it accept winetricks settings directly. Something like that would also make a good soc project.
Dear Dan,
I agree that it would be nice to have a command-line interface for wine settings cause I have run into situations that I have to configure wine before going into X. So is it possible to first group/rearrange winecfg functions into certain libraries and then let the GUI (control panel) and the CLI all interact with the corresponding libraries?
About winetricks, I do not know much about it. What exactly do you mean by "winetricks settings"?

I remember proposing this idea long ago as I would have found it useful for front end user interfaces.
It's what lead to the creation of the python-wine library by Christian Dannie Stroggard, which is a part of the vineyard project now.
I suggest anyone having this need/considering implementing this give that a look.

It is worth remembering that an elf program's 'main' can be in a shared object! This mightmake it easier to write a stub binary that effectively make a .so executable.
Sort of depends on what the guy way tring to do...
