I was googling for "pe32+ IMAGE_COR20_HEADER" and "pe32+ mono dump
IMAGE_COR20_HEADER". The search gives this, for instance:
https://forum.tuts4you.com/topic/26862-net-directory-flags/#comment-127000

Before googling this, I made sure that init routine is called or not by
inserting crashes in the app init routines and thus detecting if the
routine is called under Mono & .Net (all under Wine). I initially
suspected that this is somehow called from managed ctor, but it appeared
to be not the case. I searched for these words being curious how .Net
gets this entry point address while it is not in exports and normal PE
entry point.

So then I will split this patch into two or three, look couple of times
more and send it.
