From my understanding, in this case using a simple skip() means that anyone running WineTest on Windows in a non-administrator account will get a test failure. Since we don't seem to have a policy mandating that WineTest be run in an administrator account that seems wrong and thus a win_skip() seems in order.
Sorry I got that wrong and Hans set me straight: * skip() always skips no matter what the platform is. So it cannot cause test errors.
* win_skip() skips on Windows and fails in Wine. So it's stricter than skip().
