http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28362 says that the mshtml tests
hang occasionally.  The testsuite handles them by, well, hanging :-)
Scripts that care about this add their own timeout.

The testsuite does not, in general, fully pass on any machine but
Alexandre's, so just generate a baseline by running the tests
several times with "make -k test" without your patch, and
saving the logs.  Then repeat after applying your patch.

(https://code.google.com/p/winezeug/source/browse/trunk/buildbot/dotests_blacklist.txt
has a list of all the tests that the buildbot failed on while it was
running, and
you can run just the known good or known bad tests with
https://code.google.com/p/winezeug/source/browse/trunk/buildbot/dotests.sh
but that's overkill (or underkill) for you, and slightly out of date anyway.)
