As a developer of several applications that need to run on Windows and
*nix, I am VERY interested in knowing more about the possible ways to
accomplish this, and would be more than willing to help update whatever
stuff is required.

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the patch is out of date).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.
