# This script makes it a bit easier to work with various wine prefixes by
# taking care of the environment variables WINEARCH and WINEPREFIX for you.
# WINEARCH is determined by the presense of the "Program Files (x86)" folder
# in the wine prefix's file system, and the WINEPREFIX value is expanded
# to a full path based on a short name provided by the user.
