It's a little bit complicated for us to put something like this in
place. Our efforts should rather be on troubleshooting and addressing
the issue, which, unfortunately, we've not managed to do so far.
Hopefully things will improve in general on the Windows build machines
when we replace the current moscatos with new hardware that run Windows
Server 2012 (not sure about this particular issue though).

In the meantime, you could temporarily mark GUIDEseq as unsupported on
Windows by adding a .BBSoptions file in the top-level folder with the
following line in it:

UnsupportedPlatforms: win

Once the review process is over, just remove that file.

Cheers,
H.
