Well, you'd write a Winelib program.

Winelib programs don't have any problem with interfacing with DLLs.
It's only that there is a problem with *Win16* DLLs...

In order to thunk down to Win16 from Win32 code (Winelib can *only* use
Win32 !), you'd you have to use such things as e.g. QT_Thunk() etc.
(definitely not for the faint of heart)

Does that help ?
