As one who has been bitten by this for several years I can say that many 
(Most) windows apps dont care where their pointers point. Simply changing 
ADDRESS_SPACE_LIMIT does  actually work in many cases and making this 
configurable will make wine usable in these environment even if it breaks 
some naughty applications that depend on the 3G/1G split!!
