Currently, this is:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/kaiw/meld
However, the 3.19.0 build is known to not work because of GTK+
requirements changes. The current effort to change the build to use
MSYS2 instead is what will hopefully fix this. Builds on the meld-3-18
branch should work at this point.
Also, I've configured it to only build tags (i.e., releases) instead
of every commit. I could probably be convinced to change that.
