So there's no reason to use tools/wineinstall if you're just updating the source?
Yes, wineinstall sets up your ~/.wine/config file and the default registries in addition to compiling wine so most of the time if you already have these set up then it is not nessesary to use wineinstall.
However the structure of both the .wine/config and registries and thier contents has changed over time and as new features are added to wine. For example over time more functionality has been added to the various dlls and in the default config file various dlls now default to builtin rather than native. So running wineinstall once a month and letting it overwrite your old config is not a really bad idea. Your old config is called config.sav and you can run "diff -u config.sav config>config.dif" to see what it has changed .
