Actually, the answer to the original question is "no". It is not possible to just link the Wine libraries directly into a Linux application - at least not without additional work. A Winelib application (linked with winegcc) is itself a library which is loaded by one of the Wine executables (there is a patch to make Winelib applications into executables in their own right, but the patch is out of date). There are a number of mechanisms by which a Linux application might be able to link directly to Wine libraries, but they all involve something more complex than the example provided.
