	WINE is not designed to run any *Windows* DLLs. For example you by definition 
cannot run directx DLLs, ntdll, kernel32 and some others from Windows. There 
is (low-level) technical reasons for this. 
	BTW, do not confuse *Windows* DLLs and application's DLLs *for Windows* (like 
mfc42.dll and many others, or like custom DLLs). This is different things.
	Main difference is that use of native Windows DLLs isn't supported by WINE 
team (you should use builtin ones instead).

	I can suggest to contact with maintainer of FreeBSD package. Sorry, I cannot 
help more because I know very little about FreeBSD. Maybe other people on the 
list can help...
