Isn't this a problem that was solved long ago by the invention of ELF
library versioning? In its simplest form, it goes like this:
libwine.so.1.0 <= old winelib apps links with this
libwine.so.2.0 <= new winelib apps links with this
Binary compatibility was an issue that we wanted to address at Wine 1.0.
