    I didn't want to claim that it is not possible to cross build stuff
    for Windows.

    I question that the DLLs/applications that winetricks downloads can
    be built with stuff that is already in Debian main or at least could
    be added.
    There are lots of functions load_*() available. So first I would
    like to know how I can create my own versions of amstream.dll,
    art2kmin.exe or atmlib.dll.
        Maybe also choose a typical application, tell me how to build
        that exe and I will see whether a diff shows no differences
        between the downloaded and the built version.
