Help with some strange debugging.

If you need to test how the native dll works, please write a unit
test case for the comparasons you are interested in (there are a
_huge_ number of variant tests already defined in the
dlls/oleaut32/tests directory).

Run the tests manually from the tests directory as:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="oleaut32=n" wine ./oleaut32test.exe.so <testname>

To check out the native versions behaviour (of course you will need a
native oleaut32.dll in your fake c:\windows\system dir).

for the builtin version run:
WINETEST_PLATFORM="wine" WINEDLLOVERRIDES="oleaut32=b" wine
./oleaut32test.exe.so <testname>

This will catch any regressions from your patch and ensure that
future changes don't break your changes in any way.

Cheers,
Jon
