Thanks for investigating and finding the root cause.  "This is not what
the documentation says...!" -> I need to actually *run* these things, not
just test compile.

Thanks!

PS: when you say "several painful Windows builds" - I found that things
are actually working quite nicely using "build-snapshot --use-depcache",
pointing this to a private git repo which has the code I want to test.
Still a bit annoying because the machinery insists on "fetch all, clean
all, rebuild all" instead of "there's the source directory, just run=20
make!"... shall we try to spend a bit time on this, to make interactively
working on source changes nicer?
