I'll make some tests to check how wrc and widl should behave. However I'm not sure if submitting tests for wrc and widl would be welcome. We don't have any tests for these tools yet and I can imagine not everyone, who's running the tests on Windows, has Visual Studio or SDK installed. Perhaps such tests could rely on presence of these tools in PATH, and would be skipped in case of their absence. Does it make any sense?
Yes, skipping tests if the tested application/library isn't there is the way to go. The test framework already takes care of this for libraries, not sure about programs. What I'm more worried about is the build system, and that widl and wrc have a different name than their Windows counterparts. Maybe someone else knows if and how those can be tested. Maybe we just don't care about 1:1 compatibility for widl and wrc and it's ok to adjust wpp to make d3dx9 happy.
