Okay, I'm going to try this. So far I have managed to compile an empty 
hantek.sys.so (copied and renamed tdi.sys).

danman at silverhorse:~/storage/Projects/hantek-usb/wine/dlls/hantek.sys$ 
ls -lah
total 256K
drwxrwxr-x   2 danman danman 4,0K jan 26 23:33 .

-rw-rw-r--   1 danman danman   95 jan 26 23:22 Makefile.in

How do I load it in wine now?
