On that subject, I think Dan Kegel's patchwatcher was a really, really good idea, and we should revive it. Not only to catch simple problems, but also to broaden the set of platforms patches are pre-tested before they are applied(/me thinks about different graphics drivers)
Agreed. I think it's one of the projects that has the most potential for helping Wine move faster. As usual it's probably best to start small even if it does not do all we would like at first. Then once the basics are in place, well tested and stable we can broaden the scope and think about the wilder reaches (testing on multiple platforms: FreeBSD and Solaris, automatic conformance test runs on multiple Windows versions, etc).
But the first and most important step is to get things in place.
