Note that I never said it was the user's fault, but that it's a configuration error. In my opinion the proper place to fix this is in the library installation itself, or in the distribution of Wine. Mike Kronenberg's package does that--cheers, Mike--but it's too different from mainline to be considered stock Wine. A MacOS bundle that addressed this but was built with no patches at all to git Wine would be a lot closer to what I want.
If this would really be accepted by Winehq then we have that solution. The build script Austin has been developing on my box provides the missing libraries. If we can do releases with it and bundle the missing libraries in our package that will solve a lot of problems.
Yes, bundling those packages should be pretty easy. Joerg pointed out to me privately that libpng and a few others should now fall back to OS X's preinstalled versions, so the script may need updating..I'm not sure what else OS X provides off hand.
Of course, those dependencies may conflict with installed software, but without a mac, I can't tell for sure.
