Report after porting a windows app to WINE

[Mike Engelhardt]

Thank you very much.  Uwe suggested a method along these lines:

   HMODULE hModule = GetModuleHandle("kernel32");
   BOOL Wine = hModule && GetProcAddress(hModule,
"wine_get_unix_file_name");

It'd be a good thing to put in a FAQ.  I couldn't find it anyway.

In my app startup, I look for the environmental variable "_".  Under
Windows, it will likely not even exist.  Under Wine, it will tell you
something like "/usr/local/bin/wine".  I save this to a global variable
called _WINE.  That way, no matter where I am in my app I can check the
value of _WINE to decide which branch to execute.  I haven't had to use
this yet, and hope not to, but built it in already just in case.
