It could have just slipped through although I can think of a good reason not to apply it now. If would be nice to have the option to use either the mingw import libs or WINEs. Our patch does hide the UUID problems that exist in w32api shell32.a.
That was my thinking, yes; the Wine programs are already tested against the Wine libraries when building on Unix, so building with a different config on Windows lets us find more problems. But if you really need the patch I can put it in, it's just that it removes some flexibility.
The proper solution may be to have a configure switch like --use-native-sdk.
With the current setup, the native libs will be used by default, and you can do "make programs LDFLAGS=-Lpath_to_wine_dlls" to use the Wine libraries. So both options are easily available.
