What application did you have in mind?
I honestly don't know, yet. I'm meeting a prospective client on Sunday that is currently doing some browser plugin via ActiveX, and wants to support Linux and Mac OSX, as well as Firefox. They were thinking about using Wine for some of the stuff, and converting code for other.
Obviously, I've heard the usual "we'll use winelib as we don't want to bundle the whole of Wine", and had to break it to them that that is not how things work.
At worst, I believe we can run the actual plugin code in a separate process (started by Wine), and have a stub as the actual plugin, and have the two communicate via some IPC. I was just asking in case the problem was miraculously solved by someone while I was away from Wine. What you describe sounds awfully similar to what I remembered, however.
