I've pushed this yesterday.
And then utilized it to make cfbot use
1) macos persistent workers, hosted by two community members
2) our own GCP account for all the other operating systems
There were a few issues initially (needed to change how to run multiple jobs
on a single mac, and looks like there were some issues with macos going to
sleep while processing jobs...). But it now seems to be chugging alone ok.
One of the nice things is that with our own compute we also control how much
storage can be used, making things like generating docs or code coverage as
part of cfbot more realistic. And we could enable mingw by default when run as
part of cfbot...
