Hello,

You can achieve that with a wrapper script called 'wine' that you put in the
PATH somewhere before the 'real' wine command (don't forget to locate the
'real' wine command in the script to avoid recursion).

IMO, maintaining compatibility fix for specific applications is outside the
scope of Wine. An external tool is better suited for that.

Regards.
