An "elfdll" is a Wine <filename>.so</filename> file
with a special Windows-like file structure that is as
close to Windows as possible, and that can also
seamlessly link dynamically with "native" DLLs, by
using special ELF loader and linker tricks. Bertho
Stultiens did some work on this, but this feature has
not yet been merged back into Wine (because of
political reasons and lack of time), so this DLL type
does not exist in the official Wine at this time. In
the meantime, the "builtin" DLL type gained some of
the features of elfdlls (such as dynamic loading), so
it's possible that "elfdll" functionality will be
folded into "builtin" at some point.
