I added druntime to AppVeyor, s.t. appveyor config is all that's 
needed and AppVeyor should be run as soon as there's an 
appveyor.yml

However, you might want to use a different account (or pay for 
more concurrent agents) as AppVeyor can already get quite slow on 
dmd. Alternatively, we could start migrating the builds to 
Buildkite Windows agents, but that's a long-term project and 
requires someone with Windows skills.

e.g.

gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.10) 5.4.0 20160609

(on all agents from Martin)

gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516

(on my agents)
