wineinstall doesn't work

wineinstall is rather poorly written install script (root id checking by -w /,
come on...). I had to modify it at least to let me go through the initial
checks.

I did ./configure manually before (with some flags).
wineinstall correctly noticed that and went straight to compiling (dunno if
make or make depend, docs say it was make).

It failed with this line:

gcc -m32 -g -O2 -o fnt2bdf fnt2bdf.o ../libs/port/libwine_port.a 
i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: ../libs/port/libwine_port.a: No such file or
directory
make: *** [fnt2bdf] Error 1

I'm including whole trace in attachement.

Here I would like to ask if there is any reason to keep and maintain +1 script
which could be done without pretty much fine (what's wrong with ./configure &&
make depend & make install?).

I found one similar bug #11618
