Sure it would; just make the test server setup script run on cygwin properly.
require an installed cygwin is broken by design. winetest.exe is a standalone application.
It wouldn't be required. You'd only need to run the script if you wanted to avoid relying on winehq.org.
I prefer servers built into wine's conformance test suite. But if we're going to keep using external servers, we should at least document which ones we use, and how to set them up.
We should instead rewrite any existing tests that use a public server to instead use a server started by the Wine test code (see dlls/wininet/tests/http.c:server_thread).
I prefer to have a winetest.dll for that. A winetest.dll / winetest.sys allow us to create even more tests. (Global Hooks and Device Drivers as examples)
