The cw-rx460 are a bit of a special case as they are not really part of 
the TestBot but it does not change much in how they operate.

The wineprefix is recreated from scratch with every Wine update so every 
test is run in a brand new Wineprefix, with one exception, the wow32 test.

What happens there is that:
* The 32 and 64 bit Wine is rebuilt.
* Then a new wineprefix is created for the wow64 bit test.
* Then the 64 bit WineTest is run.
* Then the 32 bit WineTest is run in the same wineprefix.

But maybe there is something wrong with the way the wow64 wineprefix is 
created. The code is there:

https://github.com/fgouget/wt-daily/blob/master/wt-bot#L687

And the wt-bot script is called from:

https://github.com/fgouget/wt-daily/blob/master/wt-daily#L786


Either that or the 64 bit build does not really know it has to play nice 
with a 32 bit build too?
