Also, maybe we need a new debug level for that (above ERR and FIXME), which is "Human readable messages". The message as it is is perfectly understandable to programmers, but not to users. Even if it was, these messages are usually surrounded by hundred of messages that the user have no use in seeing. We should be able to let the user see only the messages that are relevant to them.
Yeah, I like that idea. It could also be the first step towards moving certain classes of messages into a GUI form (of course it could still be sent to the console when you run wine like that, or be controlled by a config option).
What about a simple GUI-application which would call wine and capture (and maybe parse?) the output? This would be called if a program is started with a shortcut (no console). For the console you can still use the normal wine. Like that the user has at least the ability to see the messages. The content is a different matter.
