More specifically, is it worth the time to write tests for ntdll/loader.c and ntdll/virtual.c? It seems that these files would be used to load any program, so if there were any bugs, I'm guessing they would become apparent immediately and thus having formal tests would be somewhat pointless. Please correct (or reaffirm) me as I am going to write some tests in my spare time and I want to make sure that they'd be useful to the wine project.
Regression/conformance tests are almost never pointless even if they just reaffirm what is already obvious. They serve two purposes: to conform to windows behaviour, and to make sure later code changes don't create regressions. It would be well worth all of our time for anyone to write more tests, so please send them in.
