I'll have to check to make sure, but I suspect disabling associations is harder than that, as associations for programs internal to Wine (eg. notepad) get created during the initial wineprefix creation or (at the latest) the first time any application (even winecfg) is run, meaning it would be too late to uncheck a checkbox in winecfg afterwards. Instead, it might be possible to ask the user the same way we ask for Gecko and Mono - that hopefully happens early enough.
I woudn't like wine to ask me after each `make install` whether I want to enable this for each prefix I try to use — in addition to already annoying (but simple to avoid) Mono and Gecko dialogs.
Mono/Gecko dialogs should only appear on package change, otherwise cached package should be used. I don't see how it's annoying considering that mono/gecko don't update too often. Associations are completely different business, I can see why user might want to disable them, but regular user should not disable gecko/mono installation - it's implementation detail that user is not supposed to care about. So gecko/mono vs associations are things of different levels completely, and I don't think that we should a) allow to easy disable those additional packages and b) if it's decided to do so, it makes no sense to put this option any closer to associations.
