With winelib, there is no way to make a "true" executable without any 
dependencies on wine;
you could make a wrapper script so that the user does not have to type 
'wine' anymore - this is what winelib used to do, which made the 
'notepad' file in the documentation (that part of the documentation is a 
little out dated I'm affraid)
