Newer ZoneAlarm don't only warn on accessing the network but also on
launching unknown applications. So merely launching winetests (which
launches the other .exe itself via CreateProcess) will get the question
to let it run or not asked, in part because the path to the test changes
with each release (the temp dir name is random).
