Hi,
just my two cents on it.
Can't we keep the shared stuff in the home directory? It would be user-wide instead of system-wide, but already a reduction and we wouldn't need to mess with access restrictions in /usr. Possible naming: $HOME/.wine-addons-gecko $HOME/.wine-addons-mono
What problem would it solve comparing to system-wide install? Once we have a solution, we could add $HOME to search dir if needed.
Another idea would be to outsource this topic to steam or even better winetricks. Most filesystems in use support hardlinks, a winetricks verb with wine prefixes as arguments that hardlinks all gecko/mono stuff in them (if their shaXXX hash match) looks very easy and suitable to me and steam could use it too. That way the prefix remains transferable.
Sure, that's another option. It doesn't help pure Wine through.
