Hi Frank,

It seems like you've done a lot of work to get this all running on Jenkins,
and I know you've done a lot with the builderCI stuff.  Travis has recently
added Mac OS X build slaves and are working to add Windows slaves.  Could
some of what you've set up in Jenkins just be running on Travis-CI or do you
need the build artifacts?


Thanks

Paul
