How does that sound?
Great, except if MSVC tests are the ones that work and the only ones that are used, there is little incentice to fix mingw. I think we really have to look at mingw and Wine as part of a greater whole. *)
Having two winetests.exe or one compound winetests.exe with both sets of tests in it helps not only track down bugs in Wine, but also helps mingw become more MSVC conformant.
I could easily extend winetests.exe to also include the MSVC compiled tests and run them, for instance, before the mingw compiled ones.
