Actually, you're supposed to end up with a .so, which Wine can load 
after bootstrapping. Then your application launcher is either a symlink 
to Wine itself (after booting, Wine will look at how it's invoked and 
look for a .so of the same name in the same directory), or it can be the 
wineapploader shell script. The winelib executables that come with Wine, 
such as winecfg, use wineapploader. Or you can simply invoke your 
Winelib executables by typing "wine appname", where appname is the name 
of your .so file.

As for reliability, I've seen someone claim to use Wine to run 
mission-critical web services because it crashes less often than 
Windows, so there's hope.
