I got the r200 machine updated to a point where I could run buildbot, but I 
realized that the days when this GPU/driver passed the tests are long gone. A 
few of those failures are low hanging fruits, at least as far writing bug 
reports is concerned, but others need more debugging.

The kinds of failures(vertex shaders are completely broken, for example) make 
me doubt that we have more than a handful of users using this sort of 
hardware, otherwise we'd have more bug reports about them.

On the other hand I think having a hardware with "strange" limits in the 
testbot system can help to avoid getting bad assumptions about those limits 
into the code, so I'll spend a day or two trying to isolate the issues and at 
least file bug reports for Mesa and Wine, and actually running the buildbot to 
see if this ancient machine can at least keep up with the d3d and d3dx 
patches.
