That's easy, they will complain about the thing wineinstall takes care of, like not having write access to the build tree, conflicts with the installed rpm, missing ld.so.conf entry, etc. These things were added to wineinstall precisely because many people complained about them.
./configure --without-hand-holding could skip over those tests, and they would be there for a straight ./configure. It wouldn't have to be very documented...
I don't think we should do that. First of all, none of the problems mentioned are wine specific, and I don't think we need to try to fix them like that. Second, as I have already argued, it seems most of our builders from source are already power users, and are most likely used to the configure; make cycle well enough that they don't need the hand holding. In fact, they most likely hate it (as I do). The Linux user landscape has changed quite a bit lately, to the point where having wineinstall probably does more harm than good.
