When I was trying to run the winetests in gui mode they simply wouldn't run.  
Winetest would start but wouldn't spawn any of the subtests.  Ferenc's 
winetest build with console windows worked much better.  I don't have any 
idea why this might occur, maybe because child processes of services can't 
popup windows?
