i am inclined to rip bits of code out of Wine (parts of header files so far) until i can get to grips with it.
It looks like what you are looking for is a vanilla Winelib application. It compiles on Linux with a Makefile it can freely be linked to any Linux resource/Library and in turn also use Wine or native windows DLLs. Only thing is that it is executed under the Wine loader and must keep some linking and structure rules special for wine. Once it works it is easy to take code from a Winelib App and make it a Winelib DLL.
So Just look at the Winelib programmer's guide (On Winehq) documentation on how to make a Winelib application.
Hope that helps Free Life Boaz
