In theory you could do this through your own fork/branch if you want.

I'm reluctant to become dependant on microsoft github for any actual functions.
I'd rather set up a build test here. (That's part of what the mkroot stuff is
for, I noticed because it broke the mkroot build using the mcm toolchain.)

What microsoft github can do that my setup can't is test under Apple MacOS,
because that's proprietary and running it under qemu is not allowed for
intellectual property reasons.

In theory you can kind of hack it:

In practice, I've never bothered trying. (And I haven't seen a retail boxed copy
of macos at Fry's in years anyway.)

Hmmm... What would the patch to do it look like? (I dunno how you trigger github
actions...)
