In my experience, good names and structures are really important, since stuff 
like this inevitably grows. 
And confused newbies needs more explanations than necessary. And other people 
gets confused too. :-)

Anyway, something like this, perhaps?  
winetest_app_gui - The current appinstall, tests only the finished applications 
through their GUI.
winetest_app_build - Testing the actual building of applications.
winetest_app_suite - Running applications own test suites(even if they are GUI 
tests)

I would like to separate _build and _suite to clean up and because _build is 
optional. _suite could(and probably should) be also run on officially released 
binaries.

Why not just run _app_suite tests under _app_gui? Two reasons:
* Because _app_suite probably need lots of pretty advance test suite-related 
tools to be installed. I would like winetest_app_gui to be as clean as 
possible, so that it's really simple (and problem-free) to run.
* I think that _app_suite (and certainly _app_build) probably only gets run by 
very experienced "winos" like Dan. 
If somebody just has an available VM somewhere(like) and like to help out, 
_app_gui makes this possible. _app_gui is also a little more about CPU than 
build environments, which should be a but easier.

This is all IMHO, of course.
