Any new project with multi platform target in mind would probably be created
on a more "library like" library than Wine(lib). However I guess few
projects are created that way. Projects have often a long history, and for
the last year Windows was the only target was windows...

So getting winelib in a more mature fashion will help all those legacy
projects...
