Forgive me for bursting in and possibly repeating what you've already discussed. I just read about the limitations for doing windows builds via travis so I thought I'd at least let you know that you can avoid those limitations without too much work: Two alternative approaches would be: 1. use appveyor.com, as that is a Travis-like service for Windows. We do our windows-builds in the curl project using that. 2. run your own buildbot and submit data using the regular github hook and have buildbot submit the results back (it has a plugin that can do that). We do solaris-builds in the curl project using that method (thanks to opencsw.org) and some additional windows-builds thanks to private individuals. -- / daniel.haxx.se
