This might be of use to someone wanting to compare Wine IE gecko rendering to IE6 without having to use a bigger hack like ies4linux. I am sending here rather than privately to Dan as I don't expect it to be merged to winetricks mainline
Changelog: Add ie6 verb and support IE6
<rant> I doubt Dan will merge it (no disrespect intended, I am not trying to single him out) because it might be viewed as 'lacking sense taste' whatever that is supposed to mean, see
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-July/067109.html
regarding a script for Media player and codecs. I don't see what could be poor taste if Wine is going to have to reimplement this stuff anyway, to provide support for it in winetricks so developers can compare native verses builtin. All the better if some users find it of use too. I would see something like Office being added as crossing the line Dan has drawn for winetricks being a developer tool rather than a user tool but that is not really my point in any case.
We've been accused in private by other that Bordeaux will not, or does not contribut back to Wine, leeches off of Winehq in a Transgaming like style, etc. Even though 90% of my patches and ideas (however small they are) have been rejected and even with IE being a nice part of the revenue stream, I've decide to give the hack back in all of its glory. We are committed to maintain NO "proprietary advantages" and seeing everything that runs on Bordeaux work out of the box on the next Wine stable release. We don't have the development staff or funding yet to fully ramp up and be as active as we would like to be but here is another token of our commitment. </rant>
