It's really easier to try to install an app under Wine and then when you run it, see if there are any missing dlls or missing functionality in Wine built-in dlls (err and fixme messages). Then you can copy those from Windows. You also might want to have a look at http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks for a script that can install and setup various packages, also fonts.
