Lately I've been doing a lot of installer building with the NSIS installer(http://nsis.sf.net). We could easily package winetest as a self-extracting and executing installer that was transparent to the user. The installer would simply extract the actual winetest.exe to windows/temp, start it up and wait until it completed before exiting. This should be transparent to winrash as well.

- Uploading to SF This works nice now, but I'm afraid it may not when we have more than one person doing it. Namely, a release needs to be created, will that not fail if it already exists? Can we check that? If that's a problem, how are we going to deal with it? Kevin, can you please try to see if what happens if you upload two files (with differents sfutils invocations) into the same release?
Can you also upload the exe?
Ferenc touched this issue slightly - if we want to point (maybe very novice) users to a way to contribute to Wine - commandline option may be hard to understand. A zipped file can also be an obstacle. It's very neat just to click "open" on an exe compared to unpacking a zip.
