The Patch requires, that I start winecfg and touch the OS-Version. 
When I do not start winecfg or do not touch/change the Default
"win2000", then "OS" is not correct.

Changing wine.inf can fix that for the Default Situation, but there are
still 2 unusual but possible Race-Conditions left:
- reinstall "wine.inf" while the OS-Version is <"NT"
- change the Default OS-Version with Regedit

It's been discussed on IRC that we should not have any version related
settings in wine.inf. As that will override user selected version on each
upgrade.

We need to think something up that will properly set version related info, yet
not override any user changes. I think we can do the same thing as we do with
drive configuration in winecfg on initial setup (/D).

Something like a "FirstBoot - Setup".

I had the same idea for Printing, because all CUPS/LPR - Printer are
installed in wine on every DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH of "winspool.drv" and the
Default Host-Printer is set as the Wine Default Printer.

The user should be able to change this.
