No, it can't do that, you have no way of knowing which links were
autodetected and need to be updated, and which ones have been
explicitly set by the user and must not be touched.

Most things should be moved straight to HKLM/Software/Wine; there are
some exceptions for things that we want to take the opportunity to
fix, or for things that will no longer be part of the config. But I
don't think any of these are handled by winecfg at the moment; things
like DllOverrides and x11drv will be moved unchanged to
HKLM/Software/Wine.
