Normally under Windows, it is possible to totally replace the icons for almost everything through the File types and associations dialog. You can even change the icon of a file folder. I don't think most people are aware that Windows can have all of its icons dynamically remapped by design.
If Wine can do the remapping through the registry then that's workable. If the registry just references icons in resource dlls, then that means Wine would need to generate resource dlls at run time and that's not so good.
