I don't think we have any long-running tests right now (except the 'ftp' 
tests but that's probably a bug). All the tests that time out do so 
because they do stuff that pops up a MessageBox and thus blocks them 
indefinitely.

msi:install is no exception. I can now confirm that when I run it on 
Windows 98 I get firt a MessageBox telling me that:

      Service 'TestService' (TestService) could not be
      installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to
      install system services.

And then a MessageBox telling me that it crashed:

     This program has performed an illegal operation and will be 
     shut down.

      MSI_TEST caused an invalid page fault in
      module <unknown> at 0000:00000009.

So I think it's premature to devise schemes for skipping long tests. If 
anything the duration of 'make test' is more likely to explode due to 
the accumulation of individual tests (already more than 300), rather 
than due to a single test taking a long time.
