well, test case is below:

1. install php into c:\php
2. create a bat file with content below in c:\php:

@echo off
set GATEWAY_INTERFACE=CGI/1.1
set REQUEST_METHOD=GET
set REDIRECT_STATUS=200
set PATH_TRANSLATED=C:\php\1.php
C:\php\php-cgi.exe

3. create php file C:\php\1.php with content below

<?php
  phpinfo();

4. run bat file

Under windows it will run php file and output phpinfo results. Under wine it
will not work at all waiting for input as if no CGI environment was set. You
may also try to run php with shell script:
#!/bin/sh
GATEWAY_INTERFACE="CGI/1.1"
REQUEST_METHOD=GET
REDIRECT_STATUS=200
PATH_TRANSLATED="C:\php\1.php"
./php-cgi.exe
and results will be the same. It does not see the environment.

As I mentioned earilier, it will not work under Wine because evironment strings
are allocated with not persistent addresses and changing one may change all the
others.
