Are the "mini dumps" you're referring to that can be created on a Mac or Linux 
host the same file format?  I think we need some way to capture the distinction 
between the two file formats.  All of the different formats have one thing in 
common though.  They support *postmortem* debugging.  So maybe it could be:

test/functionalities/postmortem/elf

test/functionalities/postmortem/windows

I don't think having it be called "windows" precludes being able to use the 
functionality on non-windows hosts (provided we ever write a library that can 
process them on non-Windows), I just can't think of a better way to describe 
the format itself.
