using the Wine debugger (or any program using the debugging API) may have some drawbacks. As the API is designed, it's not possible to get control of the debugged program between its creation and its entry point entering this makes very difficult to let the Wine debugger trigger the expected features by poking the memory in the debuggee.
That's not exactly correct, the debugger can intercept the dll loads and break in the dll init code. Since with dll separation all Wine inits will be done inside dlls, the debugger should be able to intercept everything from the point we connect to the wineserver.
