You have been granted additional permissions which should allow you to 
push now.

I don't know.

I'm not a huge fan of the clever tricks which winsup/testsuite does to 
run against the just-built cygwin, but they do work.

(Ofc, when they break, we usually end up silently running the tests 
against the installed cygwin instead, which we could probably do with a 
guard against)

There's some pain relying on anything else being available (currently we 
jump through some hoops to provide busybox 'sh' and 'sleep' which are 
used by some of the LTP tests...)


The advantage of stc setup is that we can build with headers from, and 
link against, the cygwin we're testing against; and install anything 
else from the distro.


So I guess pick whichever seems most appropriate to you :)
