Isn't it easier to put the installation files where they are looked for instead of having to rely on the downloader? E.g. for local wine builds, put the wine-mono installers under ../mono and gecko ones under ../gecko. If you have multiple prefixes you probably even want to use the new shared install thing for mono.
Sure; but if you want to run automated tests, things will break whenever wine-mono/wine-gecko get updated.
Just because people can download/cache locally doesn't mean we shouldn't make it easier to support testing the latest and greatest wine.
IMO Oliver's request belongs in a separate bug, I don't want to confuse two the two discussions.
