Hi,

Currently a Winelib program takes arguments just like the main "wine"
executable does. It would be nice, however, if they could look just
like normal Unix binaries in this respect; what about something like

  winelibprogram -foo 1 -bar something --wine-args="-debugmsg +relay"

So that the normal case is that the program just gets all the arguments
it's passed. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Also while I'm thinking about it, would a patch to make the default X
window-management mode configurable in wine.conf be accepted? Again,
this would make it easier to pretend that a winelib program is "just
another X app"... (no need to always pass -managed to get reasonable
behaviour. Also useful for Wine running PE binaries).

Related to this, I seem to remember that Corel at one point did a
patch for per-application config files - did that address either of
these at all?

Cheers,
-Matt.
