The answer is, "never use a native Windows DLL unless
you absolutely have to".  And when you have to do it,
install it using winetricks rather than copying it by hand,
if possible.  You can download winetricks from
  http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
It's a shell script; just run it with
  sh winetricks
to get a (bad) gui, or
  sh winetricks --help
to get a usage message.
