Now, this might not be as helpful to others as you might thinkg, unless
they dlopen/dlsym every symbol they want to import (this is what we do
with Mono: every symbol we need has to be explicitly invoked).

Yes that. But what if I dlopen From Linux a WineLib DLL. That also
exports some public Linux API. It will "wine_dll_register" on it's
initialization. This in turn will cause the loader to call the proper
LoadDll/GetProcAdress pairs for all Imported symbols in my DLL, hence
using Winebuild for the automation of the process. An Imaginable
sequence of events can be.<br>
<br>
- main <br>
....<br>
- program decides it needs a WineLib or Win32-DLL<br>
- Call wine-sharedlib.so to inject wine.<br>
- dlopen the WineLib and use its Linux API<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
- Have ready a Winebuild Import table (Myapp.spec.c)<br>
- main ( also not. can just be a shared library)<br>
- Call wine-sharedlib.so to inject wine. ( in a shared library this
can be on some Create or Init routine)<br>
- Directly call Import table symbols (present at link time from
Myapp.spec.c)<br>
<br>
Once you have LoadDll/GetProcAdress working, than there are tools that
can help automate the process. <br>

Please could you redo the all patch with wine-sharedlib.so source &
makefiles & a Little "call windows land" Demo application.<br>
I have tried to collect all that but got mixed up. And also don't
forget to submit a patch for a regression test that will warn if
something gets broken in the future.<br>
