This is very important to me (I have no life, laugh if you want). Most mods require you to install to the oblivion/data folder, which I'm fairly certain will still work. This can be a sub-directory of whatever. There are a few mods out there however as well as aftermarket programs which require Oblivion to be installed to the default C:/Program Files/Bethesda/Oblivion directory. Can I run such programs, or would it be possible for me to write a plugin to do this?

Be sure to read and follow any howtos. As for the install directory, Wine creates its own fake C:\ drive in ~/.wine that includes the standard Windows directories, including Program Files. Your game will think it has been installed to the default directory.
