Hello!
Can someone point me to instructions or FAQ on a logical way of
running
multiple versions of WINE at the same time. What I am getting at is
sometimes
an application fails to run with the latest and greatest of WINE.
Sometimes an
ap runs better with a newer version of WINE.
Perhaps you could also try to find out what's wrong with the latest
wine version as you probably found a regression.
Ciao,

Aaaaah,
If I was that smart, I'd become a developer and help out. Then again,
if I was that smart, I wouldn't be asking how to run different versions
eh?
Best regards,

Using your package manager (RPM or APT) it would be difficult or
impossible to set up different installed versions. So to run different
versions you need to compile from source and run from the source tree of
each version.
Once you set up the required tool chain to compile you can do regression
tests.
Finding regressions takes time to compile but that can happen in
background while are using your system.
Start with getting the Git tool working.
http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine
Once it is working from the wine source directory you can use the
following to update your source to latest.
git-checkout -f
git-fetch
in the wine Source directory run ./configure --verbose
It will spit out what is missing. Using that info find and install the
missing libs.
Then to compile your source use:
./configure && make clean && make depend && make
See section 6 of the GitWine for bisecting.
