That, as well as correct and documented behavior.  The more the merrier.

I think so.

The test code is pretty straightforward:  you use the ok macro to check a
condition.  Something like, ok(GetLastError() == ERROR_NO_MORE_DATA,
"Expected ERROR_NO_MORE_DATA, got %d\n", GetLastError());

If you write a test that fails under wine, and you don't have a chance to
fix it, you can still submit the test with a todo_wine, like:
todo_wine ok(...)

You can run the tests with make test.  I try to do a make test before
sending in a patch to make sure I didn't regress anything (fortunately
Alexandre seems to as well).

In some areas, particularly new areas of code, having no tests is
acceptable.  In existing code, having a test case will go a long way to
getting a patch accepted.

Good luck!
