wine users - Dec 2004 - replacing builtin library files with native dlls

Hi,

I want to replace some of the builtin libraries of
Wine with native ones to improve performance in some
games.  The wine documentation refers to a
'~/.wine/config' that doesn't exist.  From what I've
gathered from this mailing list, I should simply move
the native dlls I want into the fake c drive
(.wine/drive_c/windows) and Wine will use them
instead.  Is this right or am I missing anything?

Also, would there be a problem with, for instance,
importing most/all of the DirectX 8/9 dlls?  Would it
be a seamless integration or is it unadvisable?

Lastly, would doing the above breach any of MS's End
User License Agreements (I have a license for Win98)?

Thanks for any answers you can provide.

if you built from source there should be a default config file in:
src/wine-20041201/documentation/samples/config
just copy it to your .wine dir.

as long as you don't have a config file and set up using of native dlls
there
(or pass it at the command line), wine won't use your native dlls as far as
I
know.

DirectX is a low level API, i.e. requires direct harware access (correct me if 
I'm wrong), therefore this is probably no good idea.

My understanding is, that if you use your dlls only on one machine, it's ok.
