Another day, another winetricks-alpha. (Well, it *is* alpha.)
winetricks-alpha version 20110219's gui now starts with a wineprefix selection dialog. If you just click OK, it uses the default wineprefix. When using the gui, games can only be installed into their own sandboxed prefix. This keeps them from bumping into each other and making them spill their coffee, or worse. (This feature may seem odd, but it's how PlayOnLinux works, and it was specifically requested by Vitaliy Margolen in http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2011-January/088332.html ) It now has an option to delete the selected wineprefix, and if you do, it also deletes any xdg desktop menuitems that refer to it.
Comments welcome. There are some quirks left to work out with the new gui behavior, so caveat downloador.

Needs polish and testing still. algodoo_demo: wait for installer to finish in non-silent case Remove dead code for run and uninstall modes/menus.
