At least map_file will copy the stuff into a new anon mapping and so make it work. quake2 at least runs fully from a "noexec" mounted USB stick.
That should be considered a bug. If you mount it noexec it's because you don't trust the code that it may contain...
Should we consider doing this for individual binary files as well? Stock (non-PPA) Ubuntu already forces this through a front-end script, but I shudder to think how many existing setups we might break with the change since apps are not executable by default (unless installed by Wine, thankfully).
I don't think we should.
"Download this file, chmod u+x setup.exe ; wine setup.exe" ... Does not really fly.
A wrapper like above could ask for the permission I guess.
