Sure I could, but I do not have extra hardware resources.

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. :)

Also setting up ocaml
on windows is a daunting and frustrating exercise, especially so because some
other libs are needed too (pcre, camomile, etc).

Batteries now no longer depends on camomile (or any other external library), so that dep is gone. I agree that it's a big pain to get ocaml setup on windows, although things aren't too bad once the groundwork is laid properly.

Concerning the mail notifications - there are no errors in the logs - maybe the
mails land in gmail's spam folder?

Good call - they were all there. My mistake. Hopefully I can keep gmail from spamming them anymore.
