 From what I have seen, wine checks CWD, then the directories in PATH, 
in order.  Depending on the value in DllOverrides for the particular 
DLL (or default, if there is no entry for the DLL in DllOverrides), it 
will either check for a builtin DLL before or after searching for the 
native DLL.

If you have any doubts, you should be able to play around with 
--debugmsg to have wine tell you explicitly where the DLL is being 
loaded from.
