Presumably there is no reason not to give these files a different
suffix as well?  Then there will be even less confusion :-)

I presume that if an ELF file has a 'needed' entry of "wine/xyz.abc"
the dynamic linker will correctly locate the dependant library.
But for most of wine, they are not ELF and wine does all the
loading anyway.
