Added "The Easy Way" and "The Hard Way", largely favoring the easy way, 

which uses my bug_report.pl script.
Added info on a command that can be run on all shells to print debug
msgs to a file and not to xterm.

How To Report A Bug How To Report A Bug
------------------- -------------------
There are two ways for you to make a bug report. One uses a simple perl
script, and is recommended if you don't want to spend a lot of time
producing the report. It is designed for use by just about anyone, from
the newest of newbies to advanced developers. You can also make a bug
report the hard way -- advanced developers will probably prefer this.
A. The Easy Way
1) Your computer *must* have perl on it for this method to work. To
find out if you have perl, run:
which perl
If it returns something like "/usr/bin/perl", you're in business.
Otherwise, skip on down to "The Hard Way".
If you aren't sure, just keep on going. When you try to run the script, it
will become *very* apparent if you don't have perl.
2) Change directory to <dirs to wine>/tools
3) Type in "./bug_report.pl" and follow the directions.
4) Post a message to the comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine newsgroup with the
"Nice Formatted Report" attatched. If possible, upload the full debug
output to a web/ftp server and provide the address in your message.

auto-quit. It's probably a good idea to use this command, since wine
prints out so many debug msgs that they flood the terminal, eating CPU.)
