It sounds like you are asking exactly for what a virtual machine running Windows does.

I mean, i want it to use the libraries and the proprietary dlls to support the installation and running of windows programs. Perhaps something i can add to wine.

It sounds like exactly what Wine does. If you are trying to add on to Wine's functionality, then it's a good question for Wine developers (instead of us).
