Ah, I see what's the idea is now, thanks.

Which won't work on Wine - those are "fake" dlls and Wine will still revert to loading whatever override order preference is.

I see.
Also (lust wondering), what (how big) would be overhead if that wrapper (with renamed wine lib) would be used always (e.g. on all applications)?
