Yes, this works.  I had done this already.
 
I modified setup.bat to create two .cfg files, one of which does not reset
sequence numbers on disconnect.
 
Obviously, you can then only run one test at a time with the new .cfg file
if you want your tests to be independent.

oops! The at.cfg file is actually recreated with each running of runat.bat
through another batch file called setup.bat. Changing setup.bat, which
results in actually changing at.cfg, causes numerous tests to fail. So it
looks like this is not as simple a change as I first thought. I would think
that a solution in this case is to remove the setup.bat call in runat.bat
and runat.exe twice, specifiying a different set of tests and a different QF
cfg file.

The automated acceptance tests for quickfix are impressive but have some
very significant holes.

For example, the tests surrounding processing of resend requests do not
cover the most common resend scenario, namely loss of synchronization after
an unexpected loss of the TCP connection.   All the acceptance tests assume
that sequence numbers are set to 1 at every logon.  However, it is usually
at logon that the missing messages are detected.

One shouldn't, therefore, shouldn't get too complacent about the robustness
of the quickfix session level code, especially when it is talking to a buggy
peer fix app (e.g. one that often crashes), or over an unreliable network
connection.
