I think I will be able to patch and compile wine, although I have not done this for some years. I would definitely be interested in the patch, and I would try it.
I've posted a Request For Comments on wine-devel, here is a direct link to the patch: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/attachments/20101010/27590113/att...
If you need them, there are some instructions for compiling and patching Wine here (though they're not very specific): http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-7ed3c3163e2b932ee2030a48f9c5e553dc41817b
I know nothing of the test suite. I just think that:
- the test should produce the same result in windows and wine
This is part of the point of the test system, the other point being able to check for regressions. The new test bot system (https://testbot.winehq.org/index.pl) actually allows developers to run tests on a variety of Windows versions.
- the test in this case must involve receiving and distinguishing multicast
packets from 2 different multicast groups. Of course a sender program is required, but this is really easy.
At the very least this should be a separate test, as IP_PKTINFO and multicasting are independent features (though this might also be a good test to add). I don't have a lot of experience with multicast (my interest in IP_PKTINFO is for a completely different application), but you have to be careful when constructing tests to not require a network card. Can you send and receive packets for a multicast group using only the local adapter?
