You can create a local policy module and distribute that:

mything.te

policy_module(mything, 0.0.1)

mything.fc

HOME_DIR/.cxoffice/dotwine/bla/bla/mything.so --
gen_context(system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t, s0)

"build and install"

make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
semodule -i mything.pp
restorecon -R -v /home/mike/.cxoffice/dotwine

That should work
