Other options, once you have a test patch you could ask on #winehackers or here on wine-devel for someone to give it a try. Still suboptimal, yeah...
I think there is a plan to add support for real boxes to the Testbot, although that's probably not happening in the short term.
I see, it would make sense for the 3D tests, at least.

Not really. You really want to have a real Windows machine if you want to do d3d development. The testbot VMs do help with some things (e.g. the d3d reference counting is implemented in Microsoft's part of the d3d stack), but our tests are full with broken() statements that accept behavior from VMs that are known to break games.
If you need some one off test runs you can send me a patch and I can run them on my Windows boxes for you.
Thanks for the offer, I got a bit more storage and managed to set up a partition with win10 for dual boot, so I can test it myself, at least on my AMD card. Feel like this is a lot faster and less annoying for you and me.
