Wine test suite (or winrash, don't know which one) - possible way to improve for some persons (with some antivirus or firewall software running)

Actually ZoneAlarm checks MD5 or some other checksum, but it can also be 
configured so, that it doesn't care about those. There is option where I 
can specify that "Athenticate program by full path name only"... name 
says all (tried it, but in this case, it doesn't help because programs 
are launched from different directories). I think it was sometime called 
"This program changes frequently" but maybe I am not remembering it 
correctly, or it was somewhere else.

It is possible to disable the warning by application. But because 
ZoneAlarm thinks these programs are different, it isn't. Zonealarm only 
sees that, these programs are launcehd from different directory, they 
have different checksum, wine-test-whatever executable has different 
name (because date is part of the name), ZoneAlarm doesn't see same 
program. At least to my knowledge ZoneAlarm can't be configured with 
wildcards, so that it would check only part of the executable name.

But anyway, it is okay to me if you don't want to program temp 
directories not to be random, I just have to disable winrash and thus 
winetests from my win2k3 server.

Thanks
