I don't have any answers, but I can say that the configuration change
worked fine for me. I do not have a libwineps.drv.so, linked or
otherwise, nor do I have wineps.dll, only libwineps.so. I can get
obscure messages like this:

trace:loaddll:MODULE_LoadLibraryExA Loaded module
'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINEPS.DLL' : builtin

which, since C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINEPS.DLL does not exist, I assume means
that it loaded libwineps.so.
