In fact, this should be possible in C as well. Say configure can check if gcc can generate PE executables, and if so, we can compile (in Linux/*BSD/etc) the C tests as PE executable so that we actually run the exact same binary in Wine and Windows. >From the testers POV they should be as easy to run as the Perl tests (if not easier), and all that is required is a cross-compiling gcc. You don't have that, no big problem, you simply can not package the C tests. -- Dimi.
