With a mainline 1.1.3-RC2 the following tests failed:
- test 3: 23, 24, 25, 26, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36
- test 1: 10, 12

Same results with my patched[1] wpkg.js, looks like I don't break
anything ;-).

I'll look more closely at wpkg-test, looking at reliable full tests
like:

- Does it compile ? (cscript wpkg.js --help with no error)

- Test each command line (maybe looking at debug output to see if options are
  changed with command line switches)

- Extending tests set with my uses cases

wpkg-test seems to focus on working tests, I think we should add tests
that are OK if they fail (error handling).

I confess that doing this in DOS batch is quite repulsive to me[2].

Regards.

Footnotes: 
[1]  I tested the extended-hosts and factorise series.

[2]  I like perl Test::Harness[3] ;-)
