I felt like Wine DLL overrides and Windows .local file + application directory
DLLs work the same way but maybe I don't understand fully understand how
native/builtin is handled by Wine. I've always assumed it was just a way of
finding and loading libraries, i.e. native/builtin means try to find and use a
DLL in the application directory and if it's not found then use the one which
comes with Wine.

If this feature request/Windows compliance feature/DLLs handling simplification
doesn't make sense or requires a lot more effort than provides possible
benefits then this bug report might be closed.

Thank you for your attention anyways.
