"""Add a DllOverrides entry to a Wine prefix's user.reg.

Usage: add-dll-override.py USER_REG DLL VALUE
e.g.   add-dll-override.py ~/.../Blizzard/user.reg ddraw native,builtin

Only safe while no wineserver is live for that prefix - Wine rewrites user.reg
from memory when the last process exits, which would drop the edit.
