[Scons-dev] Appveyor testing platforms

[Daniel Moody]

I'm fairly certain that even though most of these tools are installed, they
are not part of the default PATH, so you may need to add them near the top
of the appveyor file where we add some other things like mingw. Also
depends on how the tools are being found in scons code, is the os.environ
used at all or is it just assumed default paths? You may have to ask
appveyor support where the WIX tools are installed. Do you know a common
place they would be? The new appveyor.yml should call set to print the env
to the log, so you could check the path.
