On the To Do List (c.4) is an item for having a new graphical Wine install program. Anyone ever looked at Frank Hendrickson's WineTools program? http://franksworld.net/winetools.html
It used to be written in some funky language, now it's all shell script.
Anyway, if you look at the script (wt210) you'll notice he uses xdialog ( http://thgodef.nerim.net/xdialog/ ) for the GUI. So here's what I'm wondering..
How feasible would it be for Wine to create a new Winelib program (say, wdialog) and use a similar concept as Frank? wdialog would simply replicate the functionality of xdialog. We could potentially fail gracefully into shell mode if Wine can't start. It might be a cheap and simple way to get a GUI front-end.
Of course, all this requires sane defaults so Wine can actually run wdialog.
Any thoughts?
