Yes, IMHO we really need a C based test.
After all in order to leverage the Windows developer group`s skills,
we probably really shouldn't ask them to code it up in perl...

The best way IMHO would be to try to make C and perl based test output
compatible.
That way people familiar with perl coding could code it in perl,
and other people would have choice ;)

Hmm, wait.
Also creating perl based tests would mean that you need to have perl
installed on Windows, too.
Maybe that is too much of a disadvantage...

I don`t think we should even bother right now.
Many windows functions are not GUI based, and those who are could
at least get tested against their functional behaviour.
