... To make myself more clear: where is the configuration option (if there is one) contained that tells Wine where to look for the usual *.dll files? Or is that more or less hardcoded? Judging by your answers, it's at least three places: /usr/lib/wine (site-wide), ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 (which is fine, since it's seperate from Windows), and/or ~/.wine/dosdevices/c/windows/system32/, which is bad, beacause of what I did.
I believe the /usr/lib/wine is hardcoded, though there might be an environment variable that would override. You are right in that the normal path for looking for Windows DLLs is ~/.wine/dosdevices/c/windows/system32/ . Wine does not explicitly check ~/.wine/drive_c/ unless that is where the link points. And as mentioned, this can be changed with both an environment variable, and in the Wine registry. In the registry, this is under:
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment] "winsysdir"="c:\\windows\\system32"
