As a developer of several applications that need to run on Windows and *nix, I am VERY interested in knowing more about the possible ways to accomplish this, and would be more than willing to help update whatever stuff is required.

Hello,
is it possible to link Win32 Wine libraries (*.dll.so) with a Linux application. Suppose we have a simple Linux gcc program main.cc
Yes. It is called winelib application.
Actually, the answer to the original question is "no". It is not possible to just link the Wine libraries directly into a Linux application - at least not without additional work. A Winelib application (linked with winegcc) is itself a library which is loaded by one of the Wine executables (there is a patch to make Winelib applications into executables in their own right, but the patch is out of date).
There are a number of mechanisms by which a Linux application might be able to link directly to Wine libraries, but they all involve something more complex than the example provided.
