Realistically, not everybody can fix Wine even if they wanted to. Once you get into the swing of it, it's easy to forget what the learning curve is like. In this case I think a wine_version symbol really would be useful and wouldn't hurt the project much at all.
Personally I think we can export a wine_version() function once we hit 0.9, but it's a bit pointless before then. And we are not that far away, in theory we should have one in Q4.
Now, we just have to convince Alexandre to add the export :)
