winetests/winrash

[Chris Morgan]

The winetests are testing windows behavior.  Ideally they should all pass on 
wine and under windows.  Winrash runs these winetests.  It gets a script file 
from a script on winehq.org that creates the script based on the current 
version of winrash and the winetests that the client has already run.  The 
winetests are updated whenever tests change and these updates are sent to the 
winehq script so it can command the winrash clients to download and execute 
them.

Right now the test results can be found at http://test.winehq.org/data/  An 
improved site for querying and displaying results was planned but hasn't been 
implemented yet.

I wouldn't mind adding a systray icon.  I wasn't really sure how that was 
supposed to be done.  I tried having the service add a systray icon without 
much success, I don't believe services can interact with the desktop.  That 
may mean that a separate winrash monitor may have to be written that 
communicates with the service.  It would be nice to have a systray icon 
running although I'm not sure how to implement it or whether I'd have the 
time to do so.  I'll gladly assist in any development work though.
