I'm sure it must be possible to export routines in Wine .dll.so libraries 
via .def files or similar - whether GetProcAddress supports Wine "DLLs" is 
the issue. Even if for some reason it's not possible, I don't see that it 
would be impossible to detect that the .cpl file is actually a Wine DLL, and 
to use the appropriate dlopen-type routines to read it.
