There's at least two separate cases. If application detects Wine and applies a
workaround in a broken way, that doesn't work anymore in newer Wine versions,
that's one thing. In this case anyone interested in running it should contact
developer for updates, or persuade them to actually report bugs. If it's not
possible users can just have separate Wine installation that works for this
application.

Another thing is when application detects Wine and refuses to run just because
it's Wine. If it was a developer intention I don't think we should intervene at
all, but instead respect developer's decision and let it crash/fail as it's
meant to.

In any case adding workarounds in Wine for such applications is a bad idea, and
hiding wine version export is an example of that.
