Wine _cannot_ use native dll's for anything important
(kernel/ntdll/gdi/user). It will _try_ to use those native dll's the
Wine Administrator tells it to use in $WINEPREFIX/.config
[DllOverrides]. IMO this is reasonable:
[DllOverrides]
"msvcrt" = "native, builtin, so"
"*" = "builtin, so, native"
You will probably not have much success with XP native dll's, but YMMV.
With Windows, newer is nastier. Nasty is just what they do.
Wine does not give a squirrel's tush if you have an XP native partition
or not. It is just another branch in the linux virtual filesystem tree
to Wine, which is after all just a big hairy *NIX application program
and library.
