[Bug 15616] New: winecfg does not allow *.acm (or other non .dll) overrides

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15616

Summary: winecfg does not allow *.acm (or other non .dll)
                    overrides
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

winecfg does not allow overrides of "libraries" other than .dll via the
selection list.

Yet the game "Colin McRae Rally 2.0" needs one for msadp32.acm (I shall post a
separate bug report on that). These .acm files also have MS-Windows executable
format.
I had to edit the registry by hand (or use regedit) to obtain the effect, after
I figured out the correct format:
[Software\Wine\AppDefaults\CMR2.exe\DllOverrides]
"msadp32.acm"="native"

I believe that any shared object for which wine provides an implementation or
stub (a .spec file in the source tree) should appear in winecfg's list.

BTW, neither does current winecfg allow setting the default order, e.g.
"*"="native, builtin", which is sometimes handy for trying and guessing what's
wrong. IIRC it was in earlier versions. Maybe it was too easy to abuse?

You don't have to edit the registry, you can enter any module name in the
winecfg edit box, you are not limited to the dlls offered in the drop down
list.

Since 1.1.6 winecfg shows a much longer list including these non-dll files.

I meant to type 1.1.16, not 1.1.6. Marking fixed.
