If we really wanted to disable the classes by default, the way to do
it would be to not register gameux.dll by default. You could then run
regsvr32 gameux.dll to set them up for a Wine prefix, until it's
considered good enough to be enabled by default.

But I don't know if that sort of thing would be accepted in Wine, or
if it would be better to enable it from the start.
