Without modifying the app I don't know, but in this case you could use
CreateDirectory instead.

The crosstest stuff is a hack that's here to make it possible to do a
quick check under Windows when you modify a test. I don't really see
the same need for winetests, so I'd suggest we do things the clean way
first. If it turns out we really need the hack we can always add it
later.

Also a minor detail: I'd propose to rename winetests to winetest,
since we already have a directory by that name in CVS, it avoids
having too many ugly useless dirs in the repository (plus it fits
in a 8.3 file name ;-)
