This allows you do "export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-zzz; ./wine regedit", and automatically generate ~/.wine-zzz. You used to have to call wineprefixcreate yourself, with correct parameters.
Actually this is a feature ;-) The rationale is that if you make a typo in your WINEPREFIX it's better to get an error message than to silently create a new hierarchy and having things fail in mysterious ways. So you have to run wineprefixcreate to confirm that you really meant to use a non-existent WINEPREFIX.
