Basically, it just boils down to running Squish in batch mode, as a BB step.
I haven't got it working yet though, due to Windows intricacies (Windows is
the most interesting platform for us, so I am concentrating my efforts on
this) regarding services and interactivity. I am going to try to run the
Squish server in a service that is allowed to interact with the desktop (the
BB slave service is not), and see how it goes.
