Wine is a reimplimentation of the WIN32 API's. I cite from freshmeat:

"Wine 990226

Wine Is Not an Emulator, it is an alternative implementation of the
Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs. Wine provides both a development toolkit
(Winelib) for porting legacy Windows sources to Unix and a program
loader, allowing unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT binaries to run under
Intel Unixes. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a
completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft Free
code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are
available."
