A full install is largely meaningless since the winapi tools are made for work on a Wine source tree, so making them independant of such a tree is largely meaningless.
Agreed.
In short, please apply it, they facillitates using the winapi tools alot and might make more people actually use them. They don't hurt anything.
The problem is if we make it part of the default make install all Wine distributions will include these non-functional (from the user POV) scripts, and I don't think this is a good idea. So I have applied it but it doesn't run by default; developers who want it should run make install in the tools/winapi directory.
