Hi,

It's nice to fix all the test failures when running them in Wine. We however 
have several tests that still fail on Windows so how can we be sure the test 
results in Wine are correct? Some that are failing on a lot of Windows boxes:

advpack:advpack
advpack:files
comctl32:monthcal
crypt32:encode
gdi32:font
kernel32:actctx
kernel32:process
usp10:usp10
wintrust:softpub

I've just picked some that fail on different versions of Windows. There are also 
several tests that consistently fail on a particular version of Windows.
