Oh.  Right.
Looks like the functionality implemented by
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/02/0079.html
is the *other* use of "App Paths"

I found a few links that mention both uses:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/win95nut/chapter/ch03.html
http://www.geocities.com/completehackz/registry.html
http://students.cs.byu.edu/~apippin/aim/aimfaq.htm
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwue/html/ch11c.asp

Maybe I'll try to code up the missing functionity.
Thanks for helping me think about this stuff.
