That's an interesting option.
Unfortunately Wine does not seem to support the registry symlinks (and I 
don't feel like tackling them). Also, INF files don't seem to provide a 
way to create such symlinks so we would need to create it 
programmatically... but in which dlls? I'm not sure it would be ok to 
add a DllRegister to gdi or other such 'low level' dlls.
