I disagree. If Windows has such a feature and/or it's somehow useful in
other situations it could be implemented but doing this to get around
their Wine detection is just silly - we couldn't win that race as there
are zillions of methods to detect Wine and most of them can't be avoided
(the first thing that comes to my mind which can't be worked around in
userspace is doing a unix syscall for example).
