Another week, another winetricks.
The only interesting changes are new verbs vc2005trial and python26. These are only of interest to developers.
vc2005trial is the 180 day Team Server edition of Visual C++ 2005. The winetricks verb for this is a bit odd - it prompts you for your password so it can mount the volume before installation. If you have a better idea, please let me know. I haven't done a KDE version of the prompt; patches welcome. I also haven't implemented -q for this; it's hard to figure out, even with hints (see the comments). If anyone wants to tackle it, be my guest, I'd love to have unattended install working.
The python26 verb includes pywin32, since that was needed by the script I was trying to run (the gyp self-test). Most people will just use Linux python, but when you're running a win32-specific python script, the windows python interpreter comes in pretty handy.

Thanks to Austin English for various patches and assistance.

I lied -- there's one more interesting change. More verbs with prerequisites are now smart, and won't waste time installing already-installed prerequisites. (The vc2005trial verb had three prerequisites, and it was driving me nuts while testing.)

You can use fuseiso/fusermount to mount/umount iso images.

Good point, but it looks like that doesn't work out of the box on Jaunty; the user would have to configure it first. So I'll probably stick with the dumb/risky approach for now.
