Random thought: we really need a better way to manage default DLL
overrides. We want to use native,builtin for DLLs in our tree that are
little more than stubs and need a big push to get them off the ground, and
builtin,native for DLLs like MSI which are good enough to go into
production.

Asking people to manually fiddle with their config on wine-devel really
isn't a good way to do this.

We already have a hard coded list that we can use for this, but last time
I tried to change it Alexandre said it was only for things like user,
ntdll and so on. Is that a good policy?
