Wine's dlls and libraries all exist outside of WINEPREFIX, so doing the 
above would mean that Wine wouldn't be able to open it's own builtin dlls.

You're trying to turn Wine into something it isn't.  Use Qemu, Xen or 
some other virtualization solution if you don't trust the programs you 
want to run.
