Afair Dan Kegel worked on that back in the days. Might be still
available somewhere on the net. The easiest would be to take that and
make it a separate project aka keep it out of tree. Providing a prebuilt
winetest16.exe would make it easy for people to test without having to
go through the pain of setting the build environment up.
