Good idea for those in commercial or exposed environments.

Normally you provide a link to a net location holding copies of the 
package cygport and any patches, source package tarball and hint, binary 
package tarballs and hints for both arches.

Now you can also add those to a local package git repo playground 
branch, and force push it to the playground branch of remote repo
ssh://cygwin@cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/playground and provide links 
to the CI job:

	https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=playground

and scallywag run logs:

Have a look at my recent submissions for an idea of what is expected, 
and feel free to reply with comments and hopefully a +1! ;^>
