I'd say a native app is one that feels like it was written for the platform. That normally means, native UI, good desktop integration, that sort of thing (in a desktop app).
WineLib is a great way to do this. Pure WineLib apps will not feel native, because you're using a clone of the win32 widget set - suck it up ;) However, WineLib lets you use a native toolkit like GTK+ *and* keep using
Or better yet, lets you use a "native" toolkit like wxWindows. Think about it!
