SoC idea: run MDAC conformance test suite against MS's MDAC

[Dan Kegel]

I just added the following idea to http://wiki.winehq.org/SummerOfCode :

Run the MDAC conformance test suite against Microsoft's MDAC,
and file bugs / write test cases in C / fix anything it finds.
(See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/oledb/htm/oledbctconformance_test_se...,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/mdac/ )

(This isn't a new idea; see
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2005-December/043783.html)

This would help folks trying to run little database apps
who can't/don't want to migrate to MySQL or the like.
(And I promise you, there are a bazillion folks who
just want to be able to run some product's installer
and just use it without trying to redirect its data source to MySQL...)
