I found a patch from 2001 written by TAKESHIMA Hidenori that was posted to wine-patches (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2001-October/001229.html) but never committed.
Actually it was commited (2843934af5515c7f2b8370324aa98d3964a40324) but was then removed (140e7222e0d7ce76068cddc64c68105c2e569257) at his request.
In case anyone was just slightly less curious than me about it: http://www.winehq.org/wwn/122#Quartz.dll%20Removal
Thanks for turning that up. I did look through the archives to see what hapened, but aparently not hard enough. So now the only solution appears to be to rewrite the code from scratch. The question is, can I do that now that I've looked over his code? It does turn this from a simple fix to a much more daunting task. There doesn't appear to be anything in this code that would be patent encumbered, but the code itself certainly falls under Hidenori's copyright which he has effectively revoked permission to use.
