That depends a bit on what you are trying to achieve. But in any case
simply linking against libwine can't work since libwine doesn't export
the Windows APIs; so you have to link against the Wine dlls one way or
another. To build a regular Unix app this would mean making the Wine
dlls normal ELF libraries, which would break a number of things; so
you would probably need a separate set of "crippled" Wine dlls where
features that can't be done in ELF are disabled or hacked around.
