This could be extended to contain some advanced test tool like the 
"gremlins" from the Palm Emulator: these gremlins do some pseudo random
input to stress your application, it shouldn't be that hard by
sending wm_keydown/wm_mouse*** messages.

Pseudo random because it must be reproducable if it crashes: this can
be done easily using a specific randseed value instead of calling
randomize.
