Yes it is possible, but it is also a little bit tricky. Oh, and we
appreciate submissions a lot. First, what I am telling here is windows
only. I also forward this to the list since it is rather complicated
to find out for yourself if you are on windows. For the Unix guys,
there are some docs in 'eigen/test/testsuite.cmake'.

So, you might take a look at the batch file attached to this e-mail
and I seriously encourage you to look at it since I just modified it a
lot and haven't yet tested it.

To submit to the dashboard, you only need to put this batch file into
an empty folder. Afterwards, you open any command prompt and navigate
to that folder. Next, you need to modify some of the variables in the
batch file which are used to identify your system, your username, your
compiler, etc... I cannot auto detect all of them -- at least I don't
know how with windows tools.

Finally, just just execute the batch file and go and get lunch. ;)

In case you have questions or proposals to improve this, please notify
me. In case you have time to put this information (or an enhanced
version) on the wiki please do so.

HTH,
Hauke

p.s. I forgot to mention, you need a mercurial installation and the
hg.exe to be in your path.
