On Linux, binfmt_misc allows you to configure wine to be automatically
used to run windows binaries.

I think at least some other platforms have something similar, but
perhaps something like your MY_EMULATION_INVOKER would be useful for
platforms which don't, or for people who are nervous about having
windows binaries automatically run.
