Now we need to be sure of that... And since WineSetupTk is wine-specific, it should be able to handle this.
Actually, MESSAGE probably prints to stderr already. But still, some programs will assume that an error occurred if something is printed on stderr. For instance this will happen to any application written in tcl unless the developper went to great lengths to avoid it. So such a change would likely break WineSetupTk.
If stderr is used, they shouldnt have the message in any way.
I will add one more remark (!) : I dont know many programs that expect
"Wine
version" in their output.
Precisely. And they should not have to deal with it. This is absolutely equivalent to modifying grep so it systematically prints its version information on stdout or stderr. This would break tons of scripts out there.
