   There is one case where this seems to be the true. But in most of the
others I would find it surprising. I would rather suspect that the dll
used to import some wine-specific API from kernel32 but no longer does.

   In any case, if it does not yet use kernel32 then there does not seem
to be any point in importing it now. Possibly put it in a comment to
note that we will likely one day have the dependency. But AFAICS, doing
it right now only generates useless warnings.
