Hello,

The XDG Base Directory Specification [1]. Aims at solving two issues:

1) User's home directory is currently filled with hidden files.
2) Application settings, cache and data files are not separated.

Wine does not currently respect this standard.

- The "*.reg" files and "dosdevices" folder should be moved to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wine.
- drive_c should be moved to $XDG_DATA_HOME/wine
