Use winevdm or a portable/static wine build from kron4ek

winevdm as in this https://github.com/otya128/winevdm ? I have used that on Windows before, and if I'm not entirely mistaken, isn't it a part of wine anyway? At least winevdm.exe exists in my wineprefix.

huh did not know about it being apart of wine, i also used it back on windows. looks like static built wine in the easiest way to do it then for those edge cases.
