It'd solve the problem more elegantly than having to add extra code that might break other programs.
It might be simplest to simply reinstall Wine after installing IE. Or, if we can get Wine to run the native REGSRVR32.EXE with no trouble, it shouldn't be a problem when the Wine version gets overwritten with the native version. Someone who wants a Microsoft-free installation won't install IE anyway.
