Doing it badly is still better than doing nothing, it's the first step to do
what you want. Now just file a feature request at the proper project bugzilla.

No, "there are other ways to draw things." And Wine doesn't have a final
frame buffer picture to work on/scale in the first place. Wine does draw
on the screen via distinct API calls, drawing a line, an icon, a font glyph,
a curve, etc. at a time.

As I already said, most likely a WONTFIX.
