Don't worry about it.  If wine is properly installed, you can execute a
linux program with WinExec - IF the linux program is accessible on a
windows "drive".  I didn't want to get too elaborate about it, so I just
copied /bin/sh to /usr/local/bin (which I have on drive G:, for
winedbg), started progman (Wine's builtin progman, from <wine>/programs
(they don't make from the toplevel Makefile, but you can make them all
from <wine>/programs, or separately), File->Execute, filled in

sh -c ps

for the command line.  ps is not accessible from a windows drive, but
that doesn't matter if sh is.  Then I exited from progman.  That is
enough GUI for 1 day.

Progman uses WinExec(), so I guess any windose or winelib program can do
similar.
