Thanks everyone for the insightful information.
Actually, the solution provided looks quite simple. However, I was
trying to make some naive tests one my Windows box and got stuck on
something that looks quite simple as well... I just can't find the
KERNEL32.DLL library that I expected to be inside the downloadable
"wine-dlls-0.9-mingw.zip" package. ;.(
Can anyone confirm me if this package has successfully being build on
Windows using MingW ? If so, where should I look for it ? If not, which were
the caveats ?
Just another piece of information: I extracted the contents of this
package in a temporary directory and placed the notepad.exe executable along
with the dummy notepad.exe.local file inside the same directory. When I try
to run notepad, I have an error message that reads something like:
"It wasn't possible to find the entry-point for the procedure
wine_get_unix_file_name in dynamic library kernel32.dll"
The message is written in portuguese, and this is the best translation
that I was able to do. It looks like any other Wine library tries to call a
procedure from the Wine kernel32,dll but ends up calling this procedure on
the native kernel32.dll. Is that right ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey All,
Hi!
I've been trying to solve a problem that WINE seems to have tacked
quite properly: I need to run a Windows application under Windows OS
using custom DLLs in place of Windows-kernel DLLs. For instance, I wanna
be able to run the Notepad application loading all its required DLLs
from the Windwos/System path but, for instance, user32.dll, that I will
provide as a custom implementation.
As I can seem, WINE program loader does the job, but not under
Windows. Does anybody have any clue on how to make this "magic" happens
on a Windows environment (possibly inside cygwin) ? Does anybody know
any other tool capable of providing this functionality ?
