Regression Testing 0.9.60/0.9.61

[James McKenzie]

Looks like a patch to 0.9.61 broke the EM_FORMATRANGE patch that I was
working on.  I've received guidance from Dylan Smith on how to redo the
patch and I will once I get the old patch working with 1.0.

Guidance on how to use git to run bisect tests would be appreciated.  Do
I get the commit numbers from the Tag messages that AJ sends?

This really belongs on wine-users, not wine-devel, but anywho:
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good wine-0.9.60
$ git bisect bad wine-0.9.61

There's extensive information on using git's bisect feature for Wine on the
wiki:

I am aware of this page.  I discovered, to my delight, that the default
is to use version numbers (tag numbers) rather than commit numbers.  I'm
testing now.  Just is I have to apply the patch as well to get it to work.
