So maybe with the testing framework in place, people can start by submitting a test, waiting for results, and then submitting the implementation. Very XP-ish :), but also rather cool. One would be able to easily test a hypothesis in about 24h on a large number of different Windows versions, configurations, etc.
I am not well enough versed in the Windows world to try to write a test-case, but if someone can point me at a framework for a basic prog that I can fill in bits of, then I will test it on the one platform I have access to - XP - and use the values from there.
Slight misunderstanding here. The testing framework is part of Wine -- look in dlls/*/tests for examples. The developers' guide covers the topic: see
http://winehq.org/site/docs/wine-devel/testing
If you contribute to this testing suite, your tests will be automatically run on all platforms from time to time. It provides great value for the developers, so please add your tests by all means and ask questions if you are stuck.
