Just read your last sentence again: "Of course in all cases you have to start
with clean wineprefix and make sure wine_gecko is available."

If you simply tell people to take any of the above 3 you do not assure that the
proviso in that sentence will be met.  That means that you cannot trust any of
the regression-testing results you get back from the community.

Simply using the wine from the current source tree isn't enough.  Good testing
practice just isn't that simple.
