Just an aside, if anyone wants some precompiled DLLs to play with, have a look 
at:
  http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/

There's also a cross-compilation stage in WRT, which produces a fair number of 
DLLs and Windows executables  These are stashed in the same directory as the 
winetest executables and kept for about a week or so.

As with other files, the URLs
  http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/wine-dll-latest.zip
and
  http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/wine-exe-latest.zip
will always get you the latest.

Cheers,

Paul.

PS.  Please don't run the winetest.exe from non-cron-triggered builds (i.e. 
winetest.exe stored inside files matching wine-exe-.*\.zip).  They are a bit 
different.
