I believe it would be prudent to have some warning appear when certain native dll's are missing which required by the app being run, and which we do not implement builtins for.
I suppose a +winediag message might be appropriate for some commonly-needed DLLs. Probably there'd be a table of which DLLs to warn for.
Nobody has hooked +winediag up to any flag-the-user system yet, but that's what I had in mind in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657#c39
I'm more focused on the idea of reducing the need for native DLLs than making it easy to install them. (Um, well, except for winetricks, which seems good enough for the moment.)
