WineLib replaces Windows system libs but also allows linking third party
windows libs in a unix app.
At some point they even allowed using a native windows ntfs driver in Linux
the same way ReactOS could use, Wine and ReactOS share parts of code.

So to make this work you need to convert the headers for this winelib

I'm not sure if static dll linking is possible under Linux if Wine is
installed or Wine has dynamic linking but i think static linking should be
possible too.
