can we exclude builtin->CRT calls from relay logs?

I have something like that in my development patches, and sometimes it 
also was useful (in my idea that was not just for CRT, but for all 
libraries: only log a call if it comes from the application, not from 
other Wine code).

(see in particular "Implement relaycheck").

I'd say the currently it's more broken than not, and very hacky anyway. 
But if there is something that you like, help yourself! :-)
