do you know a cloud provider that makes it possible to run a Cygwin bot in a Unixy style, with access via ssh, etc.? (if this is at all possible - 20 years ago I could set up a ssh connection to a Windows 2000 machine without much trouble, and VNC worked too; nowadays not sure at all) Few months ago I tried setting a Cygwin host on Azure, and it didn't go well. Amusingly I was only able to connect to it from a Mac or from Windows, not from Linux... Perhaps one should try to set up a Cygwin bot on Google Compute (using Samuel's credits). If this can work then one can clone the resulting image and re-use. (or perhaps use another cloud provider, e.g. AWS EC2).
