This is presently pushed live and appears to be working! Cygwin setup has already been patched, but the change is actually worth forcing anyway (at least while we still use cygsympathy). |

This now depends on ocurrent/ocaml-dockerfile#80. |

@talex5 / @tmcgilchrist - any objections to the mechanism used here for doing (i.e. having an extra repo which gets selectively added?). It's kernel update day on Wednesday morning, so it'd be nice (though not compulsory) to have this merged before then. |

This is WIP - opening with a trial version to test the fix.(loosely) related to ocurrent/ocaml-dockerfile#79The Visual Studio images haven't been building for months for 4.10, 4.12 and 4.13 owing to the need for either ocaml/ocaml#10797 or ocaml/flexdll#96. This PR opts for the latter by upgrading the embedded flexdll in opam-repository-mingw to 0.40 (which includes that PR).
I've done this by creating a ocurrent/opam-repository-mingw which houses the patch in the patches branch and has a tiny opam repo in the overlay branch containing just the patched opam files.
I don't expect those compiler packages to change in upstream opam-repository-mingw before ocaml-base-compiler gains Windows support in ocaml/opam-repository later this year, but the patches can of course be updated as necessary.
