First, I don't know perl, so that was not an option. As for bash, the kind of argument manipulations we're doing are not easily achieved in bash, and it seemed it would have been cleaner to do it in C.
I am not sure what manipulations you're talking about; AFAICS the hard stuff is done by winebuild anyway. What I don't like about C in this case is that all the low-level stuff (realloc() and friends) makes the code hard to read and prone to buffer overflows and the like.
Anyway, you do the work, you decide.
Moreover, it seems that C is way more prefered (on average) than scripting languages, and in fact it's a better way of inviting contributions. See the latest attempt to use Perl for our conformance tests...
Yeah, the wine guys like low-level coding :-) Perhaps I'll contribute a bash version of winewrap soon, just for fun.
