Looks good, but why did you change it from a cui to a gui?
I guess it's fine, we will want to go down that path eventually...

That's an interesting question. I suggest we create two .rc
files: winetests-elf.rc and winetests-pe.rc, and we link it
with the other stuff in two executables: winetests and
winetests.exe respectively. Any other ideas?

Well, I was hoping that we can have one executable that just
links in with different .rc. In other words, when we compile
main.c (to get main.o) we don't know if we're going to run
a PE or ELF tests.

What cleaning rules?

Yes, he did send it to me some time ago. What happens now with
the output? We don't seem to be sending it anywhere... I'll
forward it to you in a few moments.

Yes, it does. I'm not sure how to cleanly solve the mkdir
problem, they just have conflicting prototypes between OSes...

Create a patch and submit it. Let's try to get it into the tree,
so we can close this sucker, otherwise we'll lose steam and who
knows when it will happen.
