+# Appveyor Build
+
+Appveyor is capable of building MSVC 2010 through 2015 as well as
+having the latest MSYS2/MinGW 64-bit environment.  It has many versions
+of boost and python installed as well.  See what appveyor has
+[installed on build workers](https://www.appveyor.com/docs/installed-software/).
+
+We run a matrix build on Appveyor and build the following combinations:
+
+* MinGW x64 (gcc 6.3.0)
+* MSVC 2010 x86, an older boost, an older python
+* MSVC 2015 x86/x64, the latest boost, the latest python
+* MSYS2 x64 (gcc 6.3.0) - this is a work in progress
+
+The Appveyor script takes the first four letters from the PROFILE specified in
+the environment stanza and runs these scripts in order:
+
+????-appveyor-install.bat will install third party libraries and set up the environment
+????-appveyor-build.bat will build with cmake
+????-appveyor-test.bat will run ctest
