This is nth time the discussion drives to the question:
How do you test ntoskrnl &co functionality, folks?

I suppose Christian debugs some application which loads own, custom 
sys-drivers.

Wine has no tests which would build / load some simple sys-driver; and 
that needs to change in future, I'd say.  Well, this topic already was 
brought in once by Damjan Jovanovic. [1]

Plus, there are guys compiling kernel mode drivers with MinGW(-64) 
already: [2][3][4]

Or am I misunderstanding the right way to go?
