Well, maybe I am stupid, but I don't see why you can't just install the tools somewhere, and add the windows path to that somewhere to Wine's "Path" = and be done with it. Unless the leafnames of the tools have different meanings depending where they are called from, and they are called only by leafname, that should about do it. You mentioned binfmt_misc, and GNU make, IIRC, so maybe what you miss is that you can always call an executable by absolute or relative pathname as well as by leafname; if called by leafname from *NIX, it will be searched for in the *NIX path, and the wine path doesn't matter. If it is not any other kind of executable, and binfmt_misc finds it to be a wine executable, it will call on wine to execute it, and IIRC it will give Wine the absolute path to find it by. What exactly is the problem? :-)
