This fixes the issue that WINESERVER environment variable is only used if @bindir@/wineserver does not exist.
Maybe I'm missing something, but what would be the purpose of running a different wineserver?
This is not to run a different wineserver. This is required to start wineserver with command line parameters e.g. by creating a wineserver.sh shell script with specific informations:
cat ~/wineserver.sh /usr/bin/wineserver --persistent=600
WINESERVER=~/wineserver.sh wine <myapp>
I'm not sure what your use case is for this, but I'd suggest adding a different mechanism to specify the server timeout, like a registry key.
You are saying that the command line parameter -p or --persistent should be removed because it is useable only in very special situations and replaced by a related registry key according to https://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys for example HKCU/Software/Wine/WineServer Value Persistent ?
I'm not saying that it should be removed, I'm saying that if you have a situation where using the command line parameter is inconvenient, it would be possible to also make it configurable through a registry key.
