Hmm. I noticed that wineprefixcreate has an --update option. I assumed that meant it would rescan the system and non-destructively update the links.
No, it can't do that, you have no way of knowing which links were autodetected and need to be updated, and which ones have been explicitly set by the user and must not be touched.
This becomes somewhat less convenient if things are scattered around everywhere, especially if appdefaults no longer mirror the global settings heirarchy.
So is the plan to copy the config branch to a different branch, or to do each setting individually? If the latter, why?
Most things should be moved straight to HKLM/Software/Wine; there are some exceptions for things that we want to take the opportunity to fix, or for things that will no longer be part of the config. But I don't think any of these are handled by winecfg at the moment; things like DllOverrides and x11drv will be moved unchanged to HKLM/Software/Wine.
