Did I miss some announcement :-)
There was a patch on wine-cvs ;-)
B.t.w. what is the reason about all those commandline options vanishing into the config file? It makes changes inflexible at least...
The basic reason is modularity; centralized option handling is incompatible with dll separation. Also command-line parsing is policy that belongs in the higher layers, we must not have kernel dictate applications what their command-line looks like. For instance today you cannot pass options to a Winelib app without using '--' first to isolate the Wine options and this is wrong.
It would be perfectly possible to write a high-level wrapper to Wine to handle all sorts of options; all we need is someone to implement it...
