We would create a parallel CVS tree to Wine; say the winesetuptk tree. We'd put that code out under a dual license (GPL/but we still own rights). I'd probably welcome multiple maintainers.
First off, thanks for the offer -- it's generous, and very useful IMO. It certainly sounds interesting, and I would like to take a peak at the code. The big problem I have with WineSetupTk it's that it's written in Tcl/Tk (I suppose). I don't know the language, and I don't care to learn it. Moreover, I think Wine should use itself for such tools, so we get to use all the nice controls we have <g>. One thing that I'd like to see is a programs/winesetup utility that's based on WineSetupTk, but it's written in C, with the Win32 API & Controls.
Again, this may be a pipedream, I don't know how much effort it would entail, but it's certainly something to think about. It's a nice project for someone familiar with the Win32 API, and little knowledge of Linux (if any) is required, so maybe someone will set up to the task (hint, hint :)).
Now it's my turn: comments? flames? :)
