Oops, no. The win98 DLLs should be copied over to the windows/system
directory wherever your Wine C: drive is. /usr/lib/wine should only
contain Wine DLLs. I'm assuming that you are using a "fake" windows C:
Wine directory (you should be doing that).
While you are at it, you might want to copy fonts from win98 into the
system/Fonts directory for Wine to use.

Yes, that is a fallback method. As mentioned above, the native DLLs
would be located in windows/system, though.
