There is no "Wine convention" that I am aware of for doing something 
like that, so I guess just try things until you like how it works. I 
would still suggest copying over the apps, unless you are really 
determined to save the disk space. Then you can be sure running under 
Wine won't do anything to mess up your Windows partition.

Assuming there is no reason to be changing the environment variables, 
why not just set them permanently? In your ~/.wine/system.reg, there is 
a section that begins:
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment]
I guess that is where you would want to set them. I prefer to use a 
plain text editor, but I guess regedit could be used too.
