For changing "Wine" to wine", you can pipe through 'tr "W" "w"', when every supported system has a working "tr".
What about using the standard @PACKAGE_TARNAME@ which is by default normalized (spaces removed, converted to lowercase, some other unsafe characters converted) by autoconf in AC_INIT?
It is a good idea to use PACKAGE_TARNAME, but only if we need tarname in wine --version output :) Does anyone know what is wine --version purpose if not for human read?
Again, can be used in scripts, many of which aren't public.
Adding to Austin's input. The output of wine --version on my Mac results in: wine --version wine-1.1.8
This could be used as the input to a number of scripts and programs that may or may not be version dependent. Most of the script writers would do a cut on the hyphen. Removing it would break the script. There have been several suggestions on what to do to fix this so I am not going to go over them a second time. I would ask that the hyphen remain. Otherwise this is a good patch that allows for project name variation.
