Actually there are already some printf tests in dll/msvcrt/tests/scanf.c
(despite its name). If you look at the code you see that some printf
tests ( ok( ...) ) are surrounded by a todo_wine { ... }. That means the
test is currently failing, we know that and will be noticed when the
test "suddenly" succeeds.

Just type "make test" in the dll/msvcrt/tests dir and see if your patch
has made any changes. Add more or change if you like. The documentation
in the developer guide about tests is good.

IMO this patch should not be delayed committing just because not all
possible tests are there yet. Others can help here as well, starting
with at least three printf bugs in wine's bugzilla.
