We (people around CxTest) think that extending CxTest is better approach to achieve your goals rather than writing new application or modifying existing. It could be done with smaller effort (in opposite of AutoHotkey, AutoIt, ...) because CxTest is specialised for testing Wine and CrossOver and it can deal with wine's specifics.
I agree that CxTest has many good features, and that any tests we write should run under CxTest.
However, I think it's useful and important for us to write tests that can easily be run with no complicated CxTest installation. I also think it's useful and important for us to be able to run our tests on Windows. That's why I started yawt; it's a single python source file that runs automated tests written in AutoHotkey (and a little python). It runs perfectly well on both Windows and Wine, and my goal is to make yawt plug in to CxTest so yawt tests can still easily be run on Windows or Linux standalone, *or* be run from inside the CxTest machinery.
I'm sure there will always be some tests that are better written directly in CxTest, but I'm going to try to push yawt forward, too. With luck we'll have the two test systems working well together in a month or two. - Dan
