It seems to be designed to avoid problem reports
from people who don't really know what they're doing,
i.e. who don't know what sudo is, who don't realize it's
bad to try installing wine from source if you already
have it installed as a package, who don't have all
the needed packages installed, etc.

Conceivably some of the handholding it does could
be moved into configure and into the Makefile.
That might be a good idea.
