Excellent!

That's correct. Both are PDK features. I wonder whether we'll have to 
give up the additional tools going forward. Or look for alternative 
implementations: the service probably could be configured using the 
installer. The tray icon? I don't know yet. Does Squeezelite-X provide 
start/stop controls? Maybe we could talk to R Greg when the time comes.

Same here. This has always been a PITA to build. I'd personally rather 
drop it than spend too much time updating it...

Oh, I probably didn't mention that before. But buildme.pl indeed would 
only run on cygwin, NOT with ActivePerl, IIRC. I don't know how close 
Strawberry Perl is.

buildme.pl --build win32 --buildDir /home/jenkins/LMS_Win/work 
--sourceDir /home/jenkins/LMS_Win --destDir 
/home/jenkins/LMS_Win/publish --releaseType nightly

Whatever cygwin installed (don't have access to the build host from 
home). That's likely not the issue here, but the cygwin requirement is.
