Take a look in the source at include/commctrl.h. Very close to the top is:
#define COMCTL32_VERSION                5  /* dll version */

I guess you can try changing that to 6, which appears to be available 
for WinXP at least.

If commctrl 6 has features or behaviors which are not yet implemented in 
Wine, that applications which try to use those features might break. If 
the application thinks only an older version of comctl32 is available, 
then it might not try to use the new features. This assumes a correctly 
written application ;)
