Perhaps someone could add this to "The dosdevices Directory"
at http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/config-drive-main#CONFIG-DRIVE-SECTIONS Windows shares can are mapped into the <TT CLASS="FILENAME">unc/</TT> directory so anything trying to access <TT CLASS="FILENAME">\\machinename\some\dir\and\file</TT> will look in <TT CLASS="FILENAME">~/.wine/dosdevices/unc/machinename/some/dir/and/file</TT>. For example, if you used Samba to mount <TT CLASS="FILENAME">\\machinename\some</TT> on <TT CLASS="FILENAME">/mnt/smb/machinename/some</TT> then you can do <PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING">ln -s /mnt/smb/machinename/some unc/machinename/some</PRE> to make it available in wine (don't forget to create the unc directory if it doesn't alrady exist).

It should probably go into winecfg and the man pages.
