I'm not sure this is a good idea, it will require anybody who wants to
use NT dlls to change the config or things will break, while they work
fine today. I think it's better to keep the current way and improve
the auto-detection if needed.

Does anybody actually use NT native DLLs? I know any time I've tried,
they fail almost immediately, usually hitting stubbed imports to NTDLL.
I only tried with XP DLLs which won't help, but conversely most Wine
users if they have Windows probably have XP or 98 ...

Well, I'll take a look at improving the auto detection anyway.
