I mean dynamic linking system wide libwine, the deb package for libwine
is 6mb but it could be optional or even selectable with the included
one. libwine supports exception handler so e.g. avisynth.dll could
work even on linux. Btw just a suggestion I've no idea about
implementing it, there are no docs around to use libwine this way,
but it doesn't seams impossible for me.
