[pkg-wine-party] Bug#770813: /usr/bin/wine script insufficiently clever

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Package: wine
Version: 1.6.2-16
Severity: normal

I have a number of project written in C that I cross compile from Linux
to Windows. These projects often have test programs also written in C
and these I run under Wine.

This all works fine when I'm compiling 32 bit windows binaries but for
64 bit binaries there's a bit of a problem, the /usr/bin/wine script
fails for 64 bit windows binaries although if I set some environment
variables I can run 64 bit binaries, eg:

    WINARCH=wine64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 wine hello64.exe

My suggestion is that if $WINEARCH and $WINEPREFIX are both empty
strings, the script could use the file command to figure out whether
the binary is 32 or 64 bits and set those variables appropriately.
