I don't know how familiar you are with Appveyor. To import all the
settings automatically, we have added a file called appveyor.yml in
the OVS repository. It has all the settings for a build to take place.

To trigger a build.
* Create a GitHub account
* Login into appveyor using your github account.
* Create a new project and point to either the official OVS github
repo for a one time build or to a forked OVS repo.

Since Appveyor looks for the appveyor.yml in the base directory of the
git repo of OVS and finds it, it automatically uses the settings from
there.
From there, you can create a new build.

Having said that, OVS integration with appveyor right now is limited
to just building OVS. We do not have settings to export the created
executables so that they can be used. I have read that it is possible
to do that by making modifications to Appveyor settings, but I haven't
done that yet.

If you want to do manual builds, with a lot more control, you will have to read:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/INSTALL.Windows.md

Yesterday, Alessandro Pilotti started a discussion about Cloudbase
contributing their installer to OVS. So you can try that out too. But
I haven't tested it yet.
