I agree - I just chose -d to be the same as winebuild.

How about an option --delay-lib... for winewrap, and to avoid polluting 
winegcc's namespace, pass it via -Wl
eg something like...

     winegcc -mwindows grotto.c -Wl,--delay-lib,comdlg32

As an aside, delayed import libraries are used twice in programs/ 
(wineconsole & winedbg), and apparently in comctl32, msvcrt, oleaut32.

They are ineffective in wineconsole at the moment because (for some 
reason) ole32 is immediately pulled in, which pulls in shell32, which 
pulls in comdlg32 ...
