This patch has some significant changes to wineinstall, the most notable being that we no longer let the user run wineinstall as root user and that we use su -c"command" to run 'make install' and to modify the users /etc/ld.so.conf file if necessary. I wanted to get feedback from people on these changes.
Thanks, Chris
*tools/wineinstall: Chris Morgan cmorgan@alum.wpi.edu Prevent the user from running wineinstall as root, add script commands so we 'su root' for installing and other commands that require root access. Fix modification time comparison of wrong file. Added missing sed line. Always 'make ' before we run make install so no build files become owned by root.

Great ! a couple of the guys from our linux user group are talking about CW's wine and as they are experimenting with WineHQ, the installation is always a big issue (for those who work kind of all day don't want to spend much time figuring out the installation procedure). Yes, they should read the README but ...
I'm continuing testing those of the top-10 most popular software from the download archives sites, and will post soon the results.
