As far as I can tell, the documented limits for the GitHub free service 
currently used are currently:

* 20 concurrent jobs
* runs which are queued for more than 45 minutes without starting are 
discarded.


The implementation of how the build back-end is used in scallywag is 
moderately modularized, so if these restrictions become irksome, and we 
ever have access to a better compute service, that could be used instead.


Note that if you are just updating the repository, without using 
scallywag to deploy, then pushing with --push-option=nobuild is more 
slightly more efficient that SCALLYWAG="nobuild" in the cygport, as it 
can short-cut things, since it doesn't need to start a job to evaluate 
the tokens to determine if nobuild is set.
