Suggested Wine feature. Wine versions

I'm running into a lot of situations where the appbd says one version of wine doesn't have this problem or that for said game etc. Why don't they add a way to make a game run in an instance of wine using any said version. Like 1.3.29, or, 1.5 or 1.4, etc. You could set all the same options or whatever ones are normal for that version and have it run using the appropriate files. It might make it a lot easier to get software running while fixes are being put out etc. This in a list so you don't have to install a new version but can access it by having the appropriate files stored so it can run from them like you had it working. And then new version would just put their scheme on top as a new version layer.

You can already do that. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-5d2fd50 ... 59e67c465f

You can use multiple wine version and prefix in the same computer.

However, a prefix cannot run two different versions in the same time.

Otherwise, some third party tools will allow to do that very easily
