The good thing about having the winetest from one source(http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/) is that all the output is actually from the same executable and it's easier to compare. If people are using different build-id we will end up with a lot of directories with single test in it. Something we also have with the current tests is that the source files actually point to the correct version in CVS. I now see some strange links to refs on http://test.winehq.org/data/20080205/. Even though the HEAD sha1 looks better than the date for a build-id it will again introduce a lot of directories with only a few tests in there. I don't see a problem with running the winetest executable under Wine the same as I do under all kinds of Windows versions. Just my $0.02 -- Cheers, Paul.
