That was my thinking, yes; the Wine programs are already tested
against the Wine libraries when building on Unix, so building with a
different config on Windows lets us find more problems. But if you
really need the patch I can put it in, it's just that it removes some
flexibility.

With the current setup, the native libs will be used by default, and
you can do "make programs LDFLAGS=-Lpath_to_wine_dlls" to use the Wine
libraries. So both options are easily available.
