It *IS* built daily by mingw32/64. Building on windows (last I checked), doesn't fully work yet, though the test suite it much closer than full wine (obviously). >>> Don't know.

Daily building from git, reporting broken compiles/compiler warnings and running the test suite daily would do a lot of good. I've asked this multiple times on wine-users and mentioned it it pretty much every OS X related thread on -devel, but no one (with a mac) has done anything about it. -- -Austin
