Feels like a tension between two kinds of "native"s:
- Microsoft-signed Windows-native DLLs
- Third party reimplementation of (1)
Once we are able to distinguish them (check digital signature), (1) should be replaced by builtin as julliard notes, but (2) should probably take priority over anything else. I might have missed something, though.
Signature check is probably extreme, but there is publisher in version info, maybe that could be checked in theory, although it probably still rather ad-hoc solution. In a generic case there might be some non-MS libs we want to prefer builtin for, like GPU vendor libs. But upstream Wine currently doesn't have such, so maybe that is not a concern.
