   Yes, you can do it.
   As others said you'll need to use Winelib. See the Winelib Use Guide
for how to get started with Winelib (but it's getting out of date):
   http://wine.codeweavers.com/docs/winelib-user/

   And you will also need to use specmaker so that you can 'link' your
application against the Windows dll, see in the Wine sources:
   tools/specmaker/README

   And in case of problem, just ask :-)
