It *IS* built daily by mingw32/64. Building on windows (last I
checked), doesn't fully work yet, though the test suite it much closer
than full wine (obviously).

Daily building from git, reporting broken compiles/compiler warnings
and running the test suite daily would do a lot of good. I've asked
this multiple times on wine-users and mentioned it it pretty much
every OS X related thread on -devel, but no one (with a mac) has done
anything about it.
