An exploded head can be messy indeed, I'll do my best to help you avoid
that... I'd use a wrapper shell script that looks at the environment var
and takes the appropriate action, then have the binfmt module configured
to run the script.

I just tried it; it seems to work with the binfmt_misc in 2.1.107 for
setting Wine's command-line options for running Windows executables. Now
I just need to get Wine itself working again! ;)
