You were right. Looking at it a bit more maybe the best route is to
add a set of custom messages to user32 and explorer maybe something
like WM_WINE_DLLNOTFOUND/WM_WINE_MISSINGFUCTION or something and
manually do the server call using send_message. I am not exactly sure
how to do it as the actual wineserver call yet. I'll look at it a bit
more tomorrow and see if I can figure the plumbing out.
