On the To Do List (c.4) is an item for having a new
graphical Wine install program.  Anyone ever looked at
Frank Hendrickson's WineTools program?
    http://franksworld.net/winetools.html

It used to be written in some funky language, now it's
all shell script.

Anyway, if you look at the script (wt210) you'll notice he
uses xdialog ( http://thgodef.nerim.net/xdialog/ ) for the
GUI.  So here's what I'm wondering..

How feasible would it be for Wine to create a new Winelib
program (say, wdialog) and use a similar concept as Frank? 
wdialog would simply replicate the functionality of xdialog.
We could potentially fail gracefully into shell mode if Wine
can't start.  It might be a cheap and simple way to get a
GUI front-end.

Of course, all this requires sane defaults so Wine can
actually run wdialog.

Any thoughts?
