-	  To summarize, the "best" way to install Wine is to download
-	  Wine source code via CVS to get the newest code (which might
-	  be unstable!). Then you could easily compile and install the
-	  Wine files manually. The final configuration part (writing the
-	  configuration file and setting up the drive environment) could then
-	  be handled by WineSetupTk. All in all the best way to go,
-	  except for the about 500MB of disk space that you'll need.

-	  <emphasis>not</emphasis> optimized for your particular
-	  environment (as opposed to a source compile, which would guess
-	  and set everything based on your system), they frequently fail
-	  to provide a completely configured Wine environment.
-	  On the plus side: they're pretty easy to install and they
-	  don't take as much space as a full-blown source code compile.
-	  But that's about it when it comes to their advantages.
-	  So I'd say they are OK if you want to have a
-	  <emphasis>quick</emphasis> way to have a test run of Wine, but
-	  for prolonged Wine use, configuring the environment on your
-	  own is probably better.
-	  Eventually this will change (we'll probably do some packaging
-	  efforts on our own at some time), but at the current explosive
-	  rate of Wine development, staying as close as possible to the
-	  actual Wine development that's going on is the way to go.
