Summary: Allow you to carry over the PATH environment variable
                    from shell
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20031212
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

There should be a command-line option for Wine to allow you to preserve the
existing path and have it appended to the one specified in wine.conf or
~/.wine/config

wine --preserve-environment
or
wine -P

An example of when this is useful is when you are running a compile process and
it might add things to the PATH

for now, you'd have to do a workaround like this:
export TMPPATH=`converttowin32path $PATH`; wine start cl.bat; where cl.bat is a
wrapper that appends TEMPPATH to PATH then calls cl.exe
