Do you really mean / and not ~? I sure don't want my C: pointing at /. And if there are more than one user how do I keep their stuff separate. What about access permissions to / - a normal user doesn't have it to many places.

We will need a tool (maybe wineboot) to setup the initial drive config according to the machine setup. A default config file is not going to help with that anyway.
I'd say we just have a C: drive pointing to / (root). This setup is definitely the most user friendly, and the one most in the spirit of Unix (one large tree). A user of a Unix system will be most confortable with it, and it will create the least unexpected behavior.
Thinking about this, I'm not even sure why we encourage people to define drives (by having a nice UI in winecfg)... What's wrong with only a C: drive by default? Power users have regedit :)
