I also use wine in somewhat weird way. E.g. I use WinEdt editor under wine to edit TeX files, and it can launch Linux executables like latex, xdvi, dvips and so on. WinEdt takes native Unix paths when it opens files and then passes them to Linux executables. I cannot rely on WinEdt the task to convert Win paths to Unix ones. Thus, if this feature is dropped, I will not be able to use such mixed Win-Lin environments. I believe that Wine should preserve it present behaviour as default and turn on some special treatment of Unix paths (with prefixes etc) on demand, possibly on per-application basis.
Isn't that why WINE has the Z: drive that maps to / anyway?
