GSoC WPKG and test.winehq.org

[Arjun Comar]

Yea, I'm just about ready. I was going to wait until I had the initial
buildbot system ready to go, but there's no reason I couldn't but my
proposal on wine-devel tonight. Quick summary of my proposal:
- Buildbot system to automate testing of compilation and application
installation / execution (integrating AppInstall)
- Several levels of testing depending on time constraints
- Easily configurable
- Trybot scheduler (manual upload initially, perhaps if as Dan said,
patchwatcher is in a good state it could be integrated) for patch testing.


I'll send an email within the next 12 hours or so with my current plan on
accomplishing those tasks.
