Is there a guide documenting what each test is supposed to do etc?
I run the test set to see where the current version of wine is on any of 
my particular hardware.
I am not allowed to develop wine due to NDA's , and so forth I am under. 
And have discussed
with the Alexandre and Dan concerning these NDA's and what I can do to 
help.

I believe you may be missing my point Ben. By consistent I mean an ERR 
means this and only means this. Warning, info etc...
 From what I  have been following here and also seeing in the code an 
error doesn't always follow the
coding standard set forth in the developers guide.
