for the first thing: thank you for the tip, readlink -f "link/dir/file" works but it's allways a extra step if winepath make this alone it would be much better/faster.
Not really, it has to do roughly the same amount of work. I'd be extremely surprised if performance was an issue here.
for the secound: so winecfg makes an readlink every time started for every link in dosdevices to get the mountpath of the symlinks?
Pretty much yes.
