I am not sure that Travis supports Python on OSX.... and it might take some
time until there is support for Python on Windows and I am not sure if
Travis-ci.org will support this free of charge.

I think that we can have both... and in the first instance automatically
trigger Travis-CI builds and manually trigger buildbot builds.

GitLab is an option, as I think that they allow you to bring your own build
slaves.... but I think that the current buildbots are fine.
