The wrapper is no longer necessary, but you need to use the -init and
-fini link options in your Makefile. If you are using winegcc it's
done automatically; winemaker hasn't been fixed yet so if you use that
you'll need to add the options yourself, by copying the relevant bit
from the wine configure.

The way it works is that the -init option changes the ELF entry point
so that the constructors are not called at dlopen time. They are
explicitly called later on by the winebuild-generated Windows entry
point so that everything is done in the right order.
