    + ForcePoint, round 9
        + ~2 writer layout issues
        + made progress on 2 of the issues, but failing on CI

   + windows tinderbox had compiler 15.9 – which has a regression compared
     to 15.7.
   + add vcl pdf exporttest – that triggers an auto-rebuild
     + won’t have to manually resume that; it just does it.

   + do we re-build again when vcl_pdfexport fails ? (Michael)
