Why would you do that? They can just include the 32-bit libraries.

Wine works by changing enough of the windows system that the libraries can communicate with the host operating system.

Microsoft already has the 32-bit libraries, 'all' they have to do is make sure the parts of the libraries that interface with the rest of the system do the translation, which is much less work and a reasonably well defined edge.
