But why?  If the 'server' gets launched using CreateProcess() and if the
communication is done via writing to child's stdin / reading from child's
stdout, then the things get quite simple, IMHO.  Isn't this redirection
working in Wine?

Or is additional application in Wine tree an overkill?

I like this idea quite much.  Though, GTK file browser embedded into a
native unix app would be even more clean solution, IMHO.  That's because
this way we would keep winecfg untied from a unix world in a bigger
degree. :-P
