#include <unistd.h> and use isatty() would be the correct way to do
it. But is a dialog box that only appears when not being run from a
terminal really such a good idea?

Does wine have a global handle to a file descriptor that can be used in a call to isatty()?  My suggestion (maybe this wasn't clear) was to normally output the diagnostic information to the console, but if the console is not available (if wine was launched from a desktop icon, for example) then to pop up with a dialog.
