+# fixes the links that wine makes to our home folder under linux.  that's a really bad
+# practice that exposes all one's private files to the wine subsystem.  dumb.
+# instead, this replaces those links to a local folder with things that the wine apps
+# can't pooch up too much.  must be used within a wine user directory.  for example,
+# i fix my directory '~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Steam/drive_c/users/fred' with this.
