I don't use SCons, but took a quick look; my current guess is that the 
problem is the chocolatey installation of dmd and the rest in AppVeyor; 
chocolatey doesn't install DMD in %SYSTEMROOT% and I don't know if the 
path updates take effect without restarting the shell (my own PC is too 
polluted to test this locally).

Using SCons.Debug.Trace just crashes with "ValueError: I/O operation on 
closed file.", writing both to stdout and a file, so I haven't been able 
to test anything.
