Allocating too much memory for prelink workaround

Thinking about what Fabian and Marcus hit...

Would it be possible to just have a dummy executable which allocates the
256MB chunk of memory from 11/22, linked to the same libs as the main
wine-{k,p}thread, but having that executable not actually used?

That way, we still gain the prelink workaround by reserving the memory,
but Wine should continue to work on computers with less memory, or those
who do not overcommit memory.
