Don't compile winetest as part of the main build

Hi Alexandre,

Was this dropped? On my laptop (a 600mhz Pentium with 128mb of ram, so 
not too pokey) attempting to build the winetest binary actually kills 
the build dead. It ends up attempting to feed ~20mb of data to gas which 
doesn't make it very happy. I guess I misphrased it - it's not for 
slower machines, it's for machines with less memory.

There's not much reason to run the entire winetest binary on Wine 
itself, so why do we always build it ?

thanks -mike
