I guess this means that wine does not implement some function in
imagehlp.dll (which py2exe_util uses).  It *may* be possible to write a
pure Python version of the binary dependency analysis (afaik, McMillan
installer has such code) - but since I don't run py2exe on linux I won't
do it myself.  Even better would be to fix wine ;-), if my guess is correct.
