Hi Kent,

Great. I have created an issue and label on Github to track this:
https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/2282

Just to be sure about where this might go: Will I be able to integration
test this on a Windows 8 machine? If not Windows 8, Windows 7 maybe? Or
does this run on i5/OS (or similar) only? If so, what's the best (and free)
option to run this in a VM, maybe?

Cheers
Lukas
