Sorry for my vague language, is reflects my vague thoughts.

Currently, it is amongst cryptic looking lines with a strong
don't-touch-me feel.  This is right, nobody should tinker
with most of the output, which should probably be static for
this reason.  But let's not care about the submission form
for now.  What I mean is the tester name and contact address
should be explicitly asked for (with a warning that it will
appear on the Web, munge if you want).  Like the comment.

I do not care too much, but the top would be nicer, really.
Close it with something distinctive.

Strange, the source directories were the first thing I
determined when I built my test package.  First of all, I
could not collect the tests short of this...

It is in the CVS directory, look at the Entries file.

WineHQ.org.  See my response to Dimi.

Yes, but this second file is generated when you build and
publish the new tests binary, and sent straight to WineHQ,
possible together with some other information, like build
error logs.

It should be something along

build
unit directory (excuse if not built)
test revision
test revision
[...]

unit directory (excuse if not built)
test revision
test revision
[...]

etc.  Maybe something more expandable, I am rather poor at
designing file formats.  But do not be too fast, Dimi
opposes the whole idea, let's see what comes out at the end.
