Again, DO NOT do it! Period and of story. You will create a defective application that will fail in the future Wine versions.

If you do not know how to check availability of some features, let user choose what platform they are running on.

You didn't read what I said. You can't, unless it's a winelib application (something compiled with winegcc and that can only be run under Wine). 

The only possibility is to write a separate winelib dll that you can load on Wine. Then your entire program can remain win32.
