Hi Maarten,

When do you see a crash? Winetest itself already checks if a dll is present. If 
it's not, the tests are skipped as can be seen on test.winehq.org..

It was crashing when I ran the test directly. But if that behavior is
ok I'll just modify my script that runs the test.

Cheers,

It's ok for the test to not run when the dll is missing. Some time 
ago (a few months?) there was a great cleanup to not load the dll to be 
tested dynamically in such cases...
