Appdb as application regression finder

The appdb has a "browse by ratings" page, e.g. you can
see all apps that have at least one Gold-rated version at
http://appdb.winehq.org/browse_by_rating.php?sRating=Gold

This can serve as a kind of poor man's application regression finder;
look at each app on that page, and look for apps
whose latest version is rated lower than gold.

For instance, WinZip is listed on the Gold page.
WinZip 9 is indeed rated gold, but winzip 10 is only silver.
Likesize, Sametime Connect has an old version rated gold,
and a new one rated garbage.

If nothing else, it would be great for someone to look at
all such 'regressions', test them with current wine, and
update the appdb and bugzilla with what they find.
Who knows, maybe we can clear a few of these up without too much effort.
