I am curious about 'testing daemon to run as windows service'

This TODO item has nothing to do with running services under Wine. What this is instead is a real Win32 service for Windows. The purpose of this service is to help us automate the running of our conformance test suite under Windows. It's operation should be very simple: once installed, it has to poll (say every 1h) a location on winehq.org to determine when new tests are available. When they are, it has to download one executable (winetest.exe), and run it (winetest.exe -b). That's it. This way, people that want to help us test, can simply install this service, and go by their business.
Needless to say, we need a volunteer for this... No Unix experience required, this is purely a Win32 little app. Nice way to get started :)
