Perhaps, but for instance the quicktime codecs try and load comctl32
regardless so mplayer stubs that out and just tries to avoid triggering
crashes - the whole thing is basically extremely fragile.

Plus there are things for which copy'n'paste isn't appropriate - the guy
who was playing with Cubase VST plugins in Wine a few months ago for
instance, VST plugins often require GUI support, registry, directsound
etc etc.
