Wine doesn't help you too much in this(except for the cross-platform part), 
and the idea isn't really suitable for gsoc imo.

And no, Wine doesn't support USB devices(aside from some patches floating 
around), and you can't virtualize device drivers. Most drivers on Windows(and 
Linux) run inside the kernel. You can't simply boot up a second kernel 
instance to load the driver into.
