Comment (by warner):

 I'm testing out https://www.appveyor.com, which is free for FOSS projects.
 And most importantly, managed by someone else :).

 I'm also adding support for running our tests under
 [https://testrun.org/tox/latest/index.html tox], since tox creates a
 virtualenv for you. The appveyor config should be simplified by having it
 run tox intead of running virtualenv/setup.py/trial directly, and then I
 think we can use this on all our other buildslaves too.

 'tox' appears to build an sdist from your source tree, then install that
 into the virtualenv, then run a command of your choosing. I'm using `trial
 allmydata`.
