There already is a versioning in the wineserver protocol; I believe the present version is 68 or 69. The problem lies in using an app compiled for another version than the installed wine libraries/server, and/or surviving upgrades in the installed wine libraries/server without recompiling the winelib app.
Ah, ok - yes well that's another problem altogether, but at least it'll be a *sane* problem at the packaging/sys-admin level, even if potentially frustrating. But if anyone cares enough about releasing a linux application in winelib form and protecting against lib/wineserver version hassles, they should probably also be releasing a bundled local installation of anything important from wine? Though I guess that assumes it's possible to configure/bundle the wine stuff (server, configs, etc) so that it works "locally" to an application installation rather than using global paths and what-not ...
