the only part that bugs me is that we may use twice the same device if it's present both in system.ini and registry. I didn't test how MS behaves regarding this, but this may cause some issues.
What about we cross this bridge when we get there? This entire mess of supporting system.ini is nasty. It just seems to me it's a lot of ugliness for dubious benefit. As for apps that peak directly into system.ini ..., let's worry about them when we see them.
I'd just get rid of all *Profile* calls from Wine, and just deal with the registry. If we need to support it, we can just merge system.ini into the registry at startup as transient values (can we do that?), and special case system.ini in the Profile functions to generate one from the registry. This way at least the ugliness is in one place, we don't have any duplication problems, etc.
