A second dll maybe. (That is not liked to msvcrt)
Also one more thing you could do is a small Winelib app
(run_unix.exe.so) that communicates STDIN STDOUT raw style through
GetStdHandle / ReadFile /WriteFile (see MSDN). and in tern popen() a
Linux process. So you do:
<Winelib_code>
popen("run_unix param1 param2 ..." ,"rb+") ;
</Winelib_code>
Such a program could also be useful for a Native app that needs to run a
Linux application.
