this shouldn't too much an issue. The way it's done, we can add new 
volumes on the fly in ${WINEPREFIX}/device (which is not supported right 
now), and mount on the fly new drives (which is supported to some extend 
right now). Mainly what's missing is the script which creates the 
volumes & drives (and since the patch is stateless) it should work (TM).

By default ${WINEPREFIX} is ~/.wine (but you can override that).

well, don't ask _me_ about this. The real issue is how to apply 400 KB ? 
(small chunks, it will take more than one month IMO, one big will create 
  lots of regressions I fear...)

A+
