Dependency hell refers to the practice of reusing code from various sources to keep programmers from having to "reinvent the wheel" for every application they write.

How do you access the C drive from a Linux terminal?
Linux does not identify drives or partitions with letters. To Windows, "C:" is the partition that the running version of Windows is currently installed on, regardless of how many partitions are on the disk. Linux identifies partitions based on the order they are placed on the disk. For instance, the second partition on the first hard drive would be /dev/sda2 or /dev/hda2.
In order to access a Windows partition,you will need to identify what partition it is actually on. A quick way to do this is to run
cfdisk /dev/sda
or cfdisk with whatever hard drive it is on if you have more than one. A Windows partition will have the type of either NTFS or FAT32. To mount it, create a directory (such as /mnt/windows), and use the command
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/windows
substituting of course the correct partition.

Is there a portable version of Wine?
No. As a general rule, there are no "portable apps" for Linux. Firstly because it is a potential security risk to allow untrusted binaries to be run on a system, thus a competent system administrator will not allow a public Linux computer to run binaries outside a trusted /bin or /usr/bin directory. Secondly, there are simply not that many public Linux computers, so the relative utility of a portable version would be gone anyway.
