What about falling back to including a patch? ;-)
BTW, do you print a SUFFICIENTLY LARGE warning message when doing so? Users should be aware that something "isn't ok" when this happens... (otherwise they'll keep running Wine with ttydrv and not be aware of the real reason for this behaviour, namely the missing DISPLAY variable) Anyway, since this is going towards error handling, you should make sure that people *know* what's going on instead of them confusedly deleting Wine again ;-)

Do you perhaps sometimes log in on your machine on a slow line? Do you then feel like this is a configuration error you should get warned by every programm you try to run?
E.g. "emacs" silently falls back that way too.

But emacs actually behaves correctly on a tty. Most Windows apps will be completely unusable with ttydrv, and failing to start is much better than messing up the user's terminal. We could conceivably have an option to enable that behavior, but it should definitely not be the default.
Then we could fail without, and show the option that must be set to override this ? Perhaps add a parameter in .wine/config ?
