It's not quite that black and white. We'd certainly accommodate common
AMD/NVIDIA/Intel hardware. Even for VMware SVGA, if someone cared
enough about it, it wouldn't necessarily be against it. (But you'd
probably have to do something involving ddraw_is_vmware() instead.)
Nevertheless, results on VMware SVGA have very little relation to what
ddraw applications written at the time may or may not expect drivers
to do; it's just not representative. And ultimately the goal of
running the tests on Windows is to find out how applications expect
the API to behave.

Similar issue.

Stefan was looking at test_caps() recently and may be able to help.
