Wine/Winelib doesn't actually export the windose API functions as *nix
library symbols, if that is what you mean.  I don't know how exactly to
get at them, but winemaker does, and it has a pretty fair man page.

Not exactly.  Your *nix applications can end up as winelib programs,
right?  Just feed the source of them to winemaker and see what you get.
You might want to hand tune the .spec file[s], and maybe the
install: target of Nakefile.in after.
