I think that's just part of the problem. If I create a symbolic link
from .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/shell32.dll
to /usr/local/lib/wine/shell32.dll.so SearchPath succeeds. But then
USER32_GetResourceTable (dlls/user/exticon.c, line 128) fails (I guess it
can't handle ELF wrapped PEs?).

Would it be ok to look for an ELF header and then for an enclosed PE header
 in USER32_GetResourceTable (and then return IMAGE_NT_SIGNATURE and the
 correct pointer)? Where can I find informations about the format of ELF
 wrapped PEs?

Bye,
