I don't think there's a mechanism for this. You could contact the
developers on wine-devel at winehq.org to see if they think it would be a
good idea to have this.
There is also the possibility of just watching the daemon (i.e. poll it
once a minute) and to kill it if it doesn't respond.
Or you could watch the wine output (redirect, grep etc.) and kill the
daemon if you find the string "wait timed out".
