People wanting access to unix paths in Wine want a "normal" unix path,
ie /path/to/file instead of z:/path/to/file (or z:\path\to\file). The z:
part is not unix, and that breaks the integration (use of a drive letter
while on unix).

The other thing is if/when z: doesn't map to / anymore... how do you add
it back from within winecfg?

No idea. Maybe you should submit a patch to Wine :)
