Just a nit pick: Wine is designed as a binary emulation layer and a set of
libraries that emulate Win32. Now wouldn't it be possible to compile these
libraries on top of a different architecture to get a Win32 API there?
(without binary compatibilty).

Whether the libraries are indeed portable is a different issue, but it can
be resolved by tweaking the C code.

There's no point in keeping an idea to yourself since there's a 10 to 1
chance that somebody already has it and will share it before you.
