Winetricks is used to workaround wine (e.g., msxml3/pdh) or application (not bundling visual basic/c runtimes) bugs. If you use winetricks to workaround a bug, be sure to mention it in the bug report (with a link to the bug you worked around).

IE6 is a bit of special case, since it's also meant to be used instead of ies4linux. IE6 also works around bugs in wine's mshtml/shdocvw implementations. The case here may be a jscript bug (based on some of the comments, though I haven't verified this myself).
