Anyone up for renaming winewrap to wineld ? ;-}
Well, it's true that winewrap does ld's job, but we don't have to maintain mingw/binutil compatibility for this one. For people that need wine/mingw portability, they should use gcc/winegcc as a frontend to do the linking.
I don't have a problem having winewrap default to a.exe if no name is given. But I'm not sure we need to do to the trouble of providing (too much) ld compatibility, as we do in winegcc.
