Description
Upstream Wine has logic to prefer native DLLs depending on the version resource of adjacent DLLs. This will prevent the user having to apply DLL overrides when they need to override ddraw or xinput1_3 manually.
It's not exactly a huge deal but it would be a nice quality of life improvement.
Justification
Certain games like Outlaws or Messiah actually already do this, shipping an overridden ddraw and winmm respectively.
Risks
Unsure? Some games probably ship their own copies of the real Windows DLLs but those would always have the Microsoft name in the version resource.
