Egads.  Where does it recommend that?  Using winelib is a terrible
idea unless you really need it (e.g. on non-x86 platforms, it's your
only option).  The downside is that your app suddenly becomes
very fragile with respect to user updates of wine; they need a
synchronized version of your app that matches their version of Wine.
I've seen this happen, and it's not pretty.
Also, this means double the QA and release trouble.

The Right Thing To Do IMHO is just make your app and wine work better
together, not use winelib.  So your next move is to file bugs in
http://bugs.winehq.org describing how your app doesn't work with
wine, and work with us to solve them.
