It's possible that there are components where this will not be straightforward, but I think the *common* case is that directory prefixes can be set at build time, and patching is not required.

Wine is actually unusual in that (AFAICT) $(libdir)/wine is hard coded in a bunch of places and not configurable at build time. But that doesn't seem to be a problem, because we can just set $(libdir) to a new prefix:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wine/pull-request/28#request_diff

I have verified that this builds.

I have not verified the upgrade, but since nothing will change from a directory to a symlink, the problem should no longer manifest.

I have verified that I am able to run "notepad.exe" included with Wine. I don't have any other Windows software to test.

This change could be applied to the F43 package and kept for two releases, and then reverted, or a similar change could be applied in F42, so that an up-to-date F42 system would not have path conflicts with F43.
