Thats an ugly workaround that should be forbidden. See Below.

IMHO thats the only possible Way and wine must go that Way ASAP!
(and use the old method for systems, where the new way dis not work)

No. I don't want that at all. Many times I mount a loop back iso image to /mnt/cdrom. Wine needs to look there first because I'm wanting /mnt/cdrom to emulate a cd-drive in wine, not have wine look for where /dev/hdc is mounted and find it's not mounted at all.

In another words, I use the wine environment to emulate disks for me, without the need of emulation software in wine.
