OK, here is what I say:
  -- we should note in the test report how were the tests compiled.
  -- the build process should support compiling them through MinGW
     so that people under Linux can build (for their testing
     purposes) winetests.
  -- I don't think we need to _distribute_ two binaries. If the
     MSVC one works better, the person designated to build and
     publicly post the winetests.exe should build the tests
     through MSVC. Once we fix everything so that MinGW works
     just as well, we might as well switch to that.

How does that sound?
