Do you mean <wine>/documentation?  Surely wine.man.in was there last I
looked.  WINEPRELOAD is alive and well in man wine:

       WINEPRELOAD
              If set, specifies the full name of a shared library
              that  wine loads and runs as a Winelib application.

That is how I will run the little winelib program that sends this
letter, but calling wine by a symbolic link also works.

Now for _my_ version of "Why are you doing this?":  Why run it with
--debugmsg +all  ??  If you have the source, can you not tell what
functions it is using/interested in/unhappy with the behavior of?
+all spews so much noise it is worthless, and I suspect snoop and relay
traces may interfere with one another in some cases.  For general
debugging, +relay is what you want.
