Intent to package Winetools for Debian

[Scott Ritchie]

A user recently pointed out how hard it is to install winetools on
Debian.

Of course he's right, so I'm making a winetools debian package much like
the wine package.  I'll put it in the apt repository along with the
regular wine packages when I'm done.

Also, I'm thinking of putting winetools in the "recommends" section of
the wine package, so it's installed alongside it by default.  Any
objections?

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie

I would rather put it as a 'Suggests' since Wine can very well be used 
without winetools. No other nitpick though.
