Forgive me for bursting in and possibly repeating what you've already 
discussed. I just read about the limitations for doing windows builds via 
travis so I thought I'd at least let you know that you can avoid those 
limitations without too much work:

Two alternative approaches would be:

1. use appveyor.com, as that is a Travis-like service for Windows. We do our
    windows-builds in the curl project using that.

2. run your own buildbot and submit data using the regular github hook and
    have buildbot submit the results back (it has a plugin that can do that).
    We do solaris-builds in the curl project using that method (thanks to
    opencsw.org) and some additional windows-builds thanks to private
    individuals.
