Apart from all of Wine, I'm always interested in the conformance
testing. I believe it's crucial in speeding up Wines' development.
For each bug found, it is often a good idea to write an automatic
regression test.

Maybe we can extend on the winetest.exe infrastructure. I would like
to see testing done in realtime - we now have a turnaround of maybe
3-4 days for a test developer like myself. I do a tiny, tiny patch,
and then wait 3-4 days to see how it behaves on 6 platforms.

What I would like to see:
a "cluster" of Windows machines with different versions, all waiting
eagerly for a small test.exe to appear. A dispatcher receives tests
and then distributes it to waiting Windows machines. As soon as
machine has run a test, it is rebooted. Preferrably from a clean
vmware image.

Mockup example:
