Jenkins can run everything you write as a script. Hence, since you worked
so hard on build.sh (which I appreciate very, very much), I think we are
very close to getting there.

There are only a few tricky parts, such as: how does the Jenkins job get
the 3rdpartypublic (and maybe even the 3rdparty) repository? It is
relatively easy to solve, though.

And since we have a Windows node to Jenkins (and can tell Jenkins to run a
particular job *only* on a particular node), we are sooo close
*puts-his-fingers-really-close-and-squints-his-eyes*.
