Hmm. gecko download hung for me once. I saw fixme:urlmon:ProtocolStream_Read Read failed: 800c0008 in the log, which makes me wonder if our download code doesn't handle transient network errors well.
Time to get rid of the download, and just bundle gecko outright, I say...
I make the mandriva rpms for wine. This would make the rpms 30% bigger. And you would download the same gecko binary over and over again with every new version.
But if that is not a problem than it can be easily done.
Why not have package maintainers package gecko like most do development files. So you could have for example on ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install wine wine-dev wine-gecko
Where wine-gecko wouldn't have to be upgraded very often.

I looked into it. And there are some options.
I can make a separate package of gecko that I can make it a dependencie of wine. Problem is people have to know where to find it or the get stuck.
I can also make the package and make it not a dependencie on wine but the the people don't know it exist.
And I can just put it in the wine package.
I think this is the best option in this case. Its the easiest option because people only have to download en install one package.
