It would probably be a good idea to submit this as a
test in order to check that this will work in the future.

However this is not a normal test because of two reasons
1. It is a C++ only test
2. It is only meaningful if a binary compiled by MS VC++
   is run under Wine.

Anyway, since very recently thanks to ./tools/winapi/msvcmaker
it is possible to compile[1] the Wine tests using MS VC/C++ and
run them under Windows. Obviously the binaries generated should
be able to run under Wine as well...

[1] All tests currenly doesn't compile quite yet, but the
infrastructure is in place. I haven't had much time to look at
it yet. Help would be nice...
