wine shouldn't need to mess about with ld.so.conf. The only wine
library that should be globally available is libwine (which is in
/usr/lib), the rest are helpers that only wine needs to know about.
There's a new option in wine.conf (EXTRA_LD_LIBRARY_PATH) that tells
wine where to find them, but this didn't work as it should in older
versions. In that case putting /usr/lib/wine in ld.so.conf was the
recommended workaround.
I'm running the 20001002 snapshot (built as a .deb by updating the
existing debian package) without /usr/lib/wine in ls.so.conf and it
goes just fine.
