Do all the jenkins build slaves have to be in the same place?  I assumed it
was possible to add remote systems to a jenkins server as build hosts.  If
this isn't possible, maybe there's someone who wants to contribute to
better testing of OCaml packages willing to increase your electricity bill
by sending you some hardware.  :)

setup on windows, although things aren't too bad once the groundwork is
laid properly.
