Regression Testing 0.9.60/0.9.61

[James McKenzie]

Looks like a patch to 0.9.61 broke the EM_FORMATRANGE patch that I was
working on.  I've received guidance from Dylan Smith on how to redo the
patch and I will once I get the old patch working with 1.0.

Guidance on how to use git to run bisect tests would be appreciated.  Do
I get the commit numbers from the Tag messages that AJ sends?

This really belongs on wine-users, not wine-devel, but anywho:
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good wine-0.9.60
$ git bisect bad wine-0.9.61

There's extensive information on using git's bisect feature for Wine on the
wiki:
