Sorry about that.

FWIW my current plan is to work a bit more on the Windows phase (to make
it faster), and to split out the `test_atexit` patches (because they cause
those hangs). I still think it is the right thing to do, but I lack the
time to take care of it within the next weeks. Instead, I will try to run
even the Windows phase in --verbose-log mode so that the --junit-xml code
can pick up the verbose logs right away (read: no more re-running upon
test failures). Hopefully this won't cause a speed regression.

Ciao,
