The way WINE works is by trapping Win32 API calls and replacing them with calls to its own versions of the Win32 libraries -- which is why its emulation is incomplete a lot of the time, and why it's recommended that you copy DLLs from an existing Windows installation for some things.
Of course, if you have an existing Windows installation to copy DLLs from, I figure you might as well use it for whatever it is you were going to use WINE for.
