New winetricks: 'volnum' command to work around bug 5351, new gecko
Another month, another winetricks. This updates the gecko installed by winetricks to 0.1.0, and adds a 'volnum' verb to let you run installers that complain "Unable to find a volume for file extraction." And it has a few other cleanups.

Hold on a sec... All installers I have seen that require the special volume name also have a workaround in the form of a command line switch /x which allows you to specify a destination folder for extraction. Look at the msxml4 verb for an example. Attached patch fixes a 404 in the liberation verb. -Hans

Good point, and I've updated the comments in the volnum verb. Renaming drive_c is more convenient than using /x sometimes, so the volnum verb should probably stay.

Applied, thanks. Updated winetricks at the usual place, http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks - Dan

Renaming drive_c is more intrusive, I wouldn't do it while Wine is running. And running wineserver -k beforehand precludes some useful testing scenarios. -Hans
