Summary: winepath -w should also look into user folders
                    (Desktop, Music, etc), not just dosdevices
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: wine@rodrigosilva.com
Currently, winepath -w (seems to) only search for symlinks in
$WINEPREFIX/dosdevices to map a given native path to a windows one. But it
should also look for user folder's symlinks (like Desktop, My Music, My
Pyctures, etc)
This is specially helpful if a given prefix has removed the "catch all" Z: => /
mapping. In that case, winepath is mapping my "~/Desktop" to "\?\unix...",
but it could be "smarter" and map it to "C:\users\rodrigo\Desktop" instead.
Last but not least, a related limitation is the lack of winepath -u to
understand windows env variables, like %USERPROFILE%. That usually points to
C:\users$USER , but since that can be changed in registry, a "windows
enviroment-aware winepath -u" would be truly useful.
