You are still stuck in the commercial world there. In the Free Software 
world, I run a shell script that builds an .exe with cross-MinGW(-w64) and 
an installer with cross-NSIS, and only if I'm really nice, I'll run the 
output with WINE once for a minute or two. Then I upload it. Testing is what 
I have users for. :-p
