You guys need to realize that in any given day we, as developers,
destroy and recreate wineprefixes several times.  Having a popup for
every wineprefix creation will be extremely annoying.  If this can't
be done behind the scenes, say as a winecfg option, then I wouldn't
expect to get much support for this.
