Let's remove it and see if people complain, and why they complain. We are likely to find real problems that need fixing anyway.
That's easy, they will complain about the thing wineinstall takes care of, like not having write access to the build tree, conflicts with the installed rpm, missing ld.so.conf entry, etc. These things were added to wineinstall precisely because many people complained about them.
The alternative is to add all these checks in configure and the makefiles, but then it annoys experienced users who know what they are doing and get treated as if they didn't. I think having different levels of hand holding for different users makes a lot of sense, and wineinstall gives us that possibility.
./configure --without-hand-holding could skip over those tests, and they would be there for a straight ./configure. It wouldn't have to be very documented...
