Description

The YAML control file for AppVeyor, the appveyor.yml file, contain a lot of workaround code for issues in the build worker that collide with our test suite.
Maybe we can mode that code into a helper module instead, so that we can clean the appveyor.yml file a bit.

Research direction

Start by reading appveyor.yml and identify the workaround code that collides with the test suite. Move that code into a helper module, then verify that the AppVeyor build and test suite still work with the YAML file cleaned up.
