Why doesn't the script make Wine multiuser?  All the shared (ie - non-user modifiable files) are in a central directory and the registry (user modifiable) is the users directory.  I might comment that the users profile folder and the temp folders are not local, but the users profile folder should be unique and the Wine should only ever hand out unique files in temp.  So there is a privacy/security risk of having the temp and user profile folder exposed, but it shouldn't prevent multiuser should it?
