[Wine] Locally "installed" Dll's

Some small utilities that I sometimes run are often distributed as a .ZIP file containing the application and any DLL's that it depends on.
Windows has a behavior where if a DLL is located in the same directory as an application, windows preferentially chooses the DLL's in that directory over the same DLL that appears in C:\Windows\system32
Wine doesn't seem to behave this way (at least not version 1.3.28). Is that a correct assessment? If so, is there a rationale for why wine doesn't behave this way? And would it be difficult to implement? Or is there a setting to enable this type of behavior?
In my current case, I'd hate to have to install vcrun2008 in a perfectly good WINEPREFIX just to run one tiny application that came with its own dlls in its local directory.
