The first call of "wine programname" will result in the custom WINEPREFIX, if set, being created on the fly. If it already exists, files will not be overwritten every time. If you start a newer version of Wine with a WINEPREFIX that contains older Wine files, some housekeeping will take place, but it shouldn't (generally) break anything.
