From the looks of things, we could do just about everything in autohotkey with enough elbow grease. It would only take a small wrapper script to run it under wine, or, if someone wanted to later extend it, to windows.
Your current script doesn't do anything that can't be done in autohotkey.
I know (aside from the initial wget for the wget.exe file...I don't see anything similar for AHK, unless we have that file already downloaded, which is easily doable).
I was more interested in a quick proof of concept. The flexibility of autohotkey allows for lots of different methods for doing such things, and a method that involves the majority of code being run under AHK itself (and therefore on wine AND windows) is very possible with careful planning, which is part of what makes this proposal so interesting.
