winetricks: add ie6 verb

[Steven Edwards]

This might be of use to someone wanting to compare Wine IE gecko
rendering to IE6 without having to use a bigger hack like ies4linux. I
am sending here rather than privately to Dan as I don't expect it to
be merged to winetricks mainline

Changelog: Add ie6 verb and support IE6

<rant>
I doubt Dan will merge it (no disrespect intended, I am not trying to
single him out) because it might be viewed as 'lacking sense taste'
whatever that is supposed to mean, see

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-July/067109.html

regarding a script for Media player and codecs. I don't see what could
be poor taste if Wine is going to have to reimplement this stuff
anyway, to provide support for it in winetricks so developers can
compare native verses builtin. All the better if some users find it of
use too. I would see something like Office being added as crossing the
line Dan has drawn for winetricks being a developer tool rather than a
user tool but that is not really my point in any case.

We've been accused in private by other that Bordeaux will not, or does
not contribut back to Wine, leeches off of Winehq in a Transgaming
like style, etc. Even though 90% of my patches and ideas (however
small they are) have been rejected and even with IE being a nice part
of the revenue stream, I've decide to give the hack back in all of its
glory. We are committed to maintain NO "proprietary advantages" and
seeing everything that runs on Bordeaux work out of the box on the
next Wine stable release. We don't have the development staff or
funding yet to fully ramp up and be as active as we would like to be
but here is another token of our commitment.

Which Font is required (please fill bug reports)
Which Font is optional?

What is needed in the builtin version?

Hm. Not present in Wine yet.

Do you need the override for Installation or for running IE6?
What is needed in the builtin versions?
Please fill bug reports.

That's wrong for every Language != english.
What you need is already there: "$programfilesdir_unix"

Which dll/ocx need this?
Is this a Wine bug (please fill bug reports) or an IE bug?
For most files in this directory, your code is wrong.
Your code depends on the case of the extensions.

Thanks, Dan has said he agrees with it from a development perspective
and ies4linux already lets enough people do it for free so adding it
to winetricks should not hurt major corporate contributors like
CodeWeavers too much. He just wants me to strip it down and clean it
up as you suggested and I am working on it. I just have a few other
minor projects to finish out first and hope to get back to it in a
week or two.

I believe they are all optional. It just looks like crap rendering a
lot of sites without them. I'll remove them and leave it up to someone
else to submit patches and bug reports regarding them.

I don't recall now, I'll retest.

And totally undocumented save a few obscure references to Unicode text
rendering of certain Asian locale symbols and equations I found in the
richedit specs. Also I don't think its really needed, I suspect if a
third party would reverse and document it for us, we could get by on
just stubbing and returning something sane...unless your trying to
rendering some sort of Japanesse math problem rather than standard
numbering.

I think I can strip this down also.

Great! I'll do that

I think its both. There needs to be a way to trigger a fake reboot so
IE can register its dlls but I don't think they are getting added to
the RunOnce key. I'll need to look in to this a bit more also. For
siome reason wineboot was not working for me and I just ripped the
solution that appdb had.

Hmm what would be the proper command line? I am not that great at
shell scripting and just ripped that example out of appdb.
