Yesterday, AppVeyor surprised me by finishing in about 6 minutes, 
handily beating Travis.  I wonder whether this was a fluke, or if 
something changed somewhere.  Or was it the luck of no backlog.

Since I develop and test on Windows, I don't usually need the AppVeyor 
test*, but for patches developed on *nix, it is needed.

* Even then, there was one IDLE test change that interfered with another 
test, only on Windows.
