What is the easiest way to prevent wine 1.5.9 (I use git version) from creating device symlinks in dosdevices directory which wine currently does every run?
Some version ago wine didn't have such behavior and it was enough to patch dlls/ntdll/server.c to remove unnecessary static symlink (z:, for instance).
Now I removed a lot of code from dlls/mountmgr.sys/devices.c and I cannot be sure that I will not have problems because of that.
Are subroutines in this file really what I need to remove? Or, may be, there is another, more safe way to do what I want? What part of code is "minimum minimorum" to delete? Will deleting "create_dos_device" function be enough?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
P.S. I apologize for my English. It isn't my native language.

I would vote for this feature/option with both my hands. In my case I have a lot of loop-mounts which are not real devices. Recompiling wine is really a challenge...
