The (broken) state of the WineTestBot

Hi Francois,

First of all, thanks for the hard work to WineTestBot working.

FWIW, I think upgrading to IE11 was a bad decision. Existing tests
results made it clear that this will cause new failures on those VMs.
While ideally we should fix tests on IE11 (I already fixed most of them,
quite a few are still remaining), the upgrade should be better
coordinated. Recovering from bad breakage of WineTestBot seems like the
worst possible moment for increasing number of failures. This also makes
base VMs unreliable for quite a few tests again for no good reason. We
already knew those failures so the upgrade could wait just a bit more.
We've just a lot further from having at least one succeeding win7 box again.
