Then lets go with Appveyor then. It should be pretty easy to copy 
across  the dmd appveyor.{sh,yml} to druntime, change the VS 
versions and dependent paths and dyke out anything thats not 
really necessary (e.g. testing/building phobos). I'd do this ,but 
I don't have VS2017 and someone else would have to review/merge 
it.

I wonder what compiler versions the buildkite agents run? Could 
possibly use those to test linux.
