Thanks. However after thinking about this today I think we should make
sure that Wine does not create any file type association at all for
empty wineprefixes for security reasons.

Of course it would be nice to be able to run VBScript out of the box,
but that's also true for exe, where we deliberately don't do that.

So if we use a blacklist I (now) think we should add every extension for
which Wine creates an association for clean prefixes.


However we can probably go without the blacklist, because I found how to
always disable the "-a" switch (next to wine.inf it was hardcoded in one
other file).

I just pushed that change to git. Feedback and testing very welcome.

I'll add some bits about this to the README later.


I suggest to upload rc4 tomorrow with this change, and then wait for
this to migrate to testing (if no further change is required) in order
to have as much testing as possible.

Afterwards we'd have another week (until the 25th) for regular uploads
targeted for stretch.
