I hoped the example would be enough. It does what I think you asked for,
put path(s) known under wine and convert it to the unix path(s).

The command:

  winepath 'C:\Data\agent'

will output:

  /home/yourself/data/agent

Use that in a little script, call it perhaps winegimp, that calls gimp
with the correct (unix) path. Something like:

  #!/bin/sh
  gimp `winepath "$@"`

I use something similar to launch gvim on the patches on the mailing
list.
