We'd have to actually code what some say is possible and why it's not a
good thing to run Wine as root: let a Windows application (or dll) to
make native Linux library calls.

Actually, what we want is exactly what we currently do: native Windows
dll already call into ELF libraries (albeit special ELF files).
