Phoronix might provide per-commit performance testing for Wine (Awesome!!!)

[Michael Larabel]

Hi Scott,

Yes we are looking at the possibility of pairing Phoromatic Tracker with 
Wine, such as we have been doing already with our daily Linux kernel 
benchmarks[1] and Ubuntu development packages[2].

Next week we should be hitting the first major milestone for the Windows 
support with a number of the test profiles becoming functionally 
equivalent to their Linux/BSD/OSX/OpenSolaris versions, so after that 
point I can look more closely at the Wine support. There are some Wine 
test profiles already, but I'm devising a way right now within the 
infrastructure to allow all of the Windows test profiles to optionally 
and transparently function against a Wine back-end.

days, there was a problem with the systems]
