this is also a possibility, but doesn't this create the need for even 
more IPC?  the big open issue is: how do the test results get back to 
the actual test program?  obviously there are many ways to do it; but 
doesn't separating things like this just make it harder?

Actually, I was leaning towards the idea of having the test program 
itself be both client and server... but AFAIK there is no 
wine-compatible way to fork()..?
