Can't build on Windows

[Simon Peyton Jones]

But don't our windows buildbots do this for us?  Surely!  That's what they are for.

Me bisecting on my little laptop is not a very happy situation.  Don't we have better technology?

| Hrm, I can't see anything off hand in the past few weeks that would

| 
| Can you try bisecting it perhaps? You can probably do something like:
| 
| $ git bisect start
| $ git bisect bad
| $ git bisect good dcc342870b4d8a739ccbed3ae26e84dcc3579914
| $ git bisect run ./validate
| 
| This will probably take a while, though.
| 
| The commit 'dcc342870b4d8a739ccbed3ae26e84dcc3579914' was chosen
| randomly, however. Any idea when this started happening? If it's the
| past few weeks, the above might work
