Well, considering that all the cirrus-run based jobs are currently failing 
due to the non-working API token, that does not seem to work very well either.

... the problem is again that the shared runners are only single-threaded, 
so it's incredibly slow, especially if you have to re-install MSYS2 each 
time. I once tried to improve the patch by caching the MSYS2 installation, 
but it did not work that well either... (but if somebody wants to continue 
my work, I can rebase and send it out again, just let me know).
