While this makes sense from a separation perspective, it will prove to be very inconvenient in practice. For decent integration we need access to the environment, and having wrapper over wrapper to do these things is not convenient.
I don't see why it would be any different than running under Windows. If the app supports environment variables in its .ini file under Windows then it will support them under Wine, otherwise it won't. I don't think we should magically expand things in .ini files. Environment variables in the Wine config file itself are supported, as long as you use the Windows syntax.
