Bug #: 31842
           Summary: Make wine lose weight by cleansing redundant libraries
                    and executives
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.14
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Correct me if I'm wrong by the libraries and executives Wine installs in every
$WINEPREFIX are stubs and not real exe/dlls.

However when you want to have a separate prefix for every Windows application
you end up wasting 32MB for every installation (I don't even include Gecko and
Mono).

I think it'd better if we replaced those virtual exe's and dll's with this
$WINE_VIRTUAL_STUB$ or something like that. This solution has several benefits
- including the fact that Wine won't have to update all those files during
every new Wine update. It will save space and reduce files fragmentation.
