Alternatively we may change wine.inf (drop "-a") which should help
normally (?) to prevent native associations, *and* do the blacklisting
for file types so that if this is still triggered by e.g. installing
Foxit Reader at least not too many associations are created.

This way anybody preferring the old behavior could just manually run
"winemenubuilder -a" to create all not-blacklisted associations.

I'd blacklist all extensions for which Wine always creates associations,
presumably:
pdf
rtf
xml
gif
jfif
jpe
jpeg
png
htm
html
txt
url
wri - application/x-mswrite=libreoffice-writer.desktop
msp - Microsoft Paint Image (in Windows 2.0), or
      application/mspowerpoint=libreoffice-impress.desktop
vbs - Visual Basic Script
vbs - Visual Basic Script
ini - open with notepad or with native editor?


Except maybe these:
chm - Compiled HTML Help is the standard help system for Windows.
hlp - Microsoft Windows Help file.
