There was a discussion on wine-devel about that subject and the conclusion was
that Wine is the wrong level for implementing this kind of feature.
Instead, this sort of feature should be implemented at the Unix level by
preventing (some/specific) applications from making specific system calls, e.g.
network system calls, which would prevent malicious Linux applications from
doing bad things.

Using such a framework it would be possible to prevent Wine, and thus Windows
applications, from accessing the network, accessing specific directories or
files, etc, etc. And the advantage is that this would even stop cross-platform
viruses, i.e. viruses that know about Wine and make Linux system calls when they
detect they are on Linux.
