Here is one possibility:
/* Get a non-0 to indicate we are running under Wine. */
    iWine = (int)GetProcAddress(LoadLibrary("kernel32"), "wine_get_unix_file_name");

This is naive and far from practical. To me, it's self-evident that an
application will want know which run-time OS it's running under for many
reasons; it's completely inappropriate for the run-time OS supplier to
discourage it from doing so.

It is further my observation that Wine developers are (unfortunately)
not particularly interested in supporting application builders who
would like to make their applications run well under Wine;  they
believe their system is primarily for the users who will want to run
an application that the application vendor would like to prevent from
running under anything but MS Windows.
