I gave it a shot on sunday, because it was particularly rainy in Nantes,
and I almost succeeded in compiling all the dependencies with cygwin.
Well, I mean with autotools cmake libtool pkg-config and I surely forget a
few other niceties that some not so well informed programmers committed
with the faith that it would make their life "easier". It certainly does
not make mine simpler...
Almost, because gcc 5.4.0 failed to compile cairo with ssize_t: it seems
that the workaround of Igor does not work anymore.
ssize_t, WTF???
Maybe I'll be able to fix it tonight. Or tomorrow. In which case I'll
publish the branch to see how far appveyor goes.
