I in no way mean to second guess your work but I checked out the diff for the most recent commit for how winetricks handled FF3. It seems all it does is download it and install it, no "tricks". Do we want winetricks to become a generic application installer? I thoughts its main purpose was to perform some non-obvious tricks to get difficult things to install.
I put things in there that I find myself installing often for testing purposes. Firefox is one of those things. Steven Edwards sent me a patch about the time I was thinking of adding it, so in it went.
I do have two other scripts for applications. First, http://kegel.com/wine/migrating-user-1.html links to http://kegel.com/wine/migrating-user-1.sh which can install 14 random apps user #1 wanted. Second, http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/source/browse/trunk/codecdemo is a little script that installs a media player and some codecs (mostly using winetricks), and a bunch of demo videos.
Those aren't ever going into winetricks. I only mention this to show that I do have *some* sense of taste. - Dan
