Stockfish: Configure AppVeyor build to include variants

[ddugovic]

It is my understanding that the Travis CI build uses src/Makefile however the AppVeyor build does not.

Try to ask to @niklasf, he uses a sophisticated Travis CI and AppVeyor configuration to make the releases of fishnet for Windows, Linux and OSX.

Thanks @ppigazzini , I do have some guidance from him but haven't been able to get to this yet.

[niklasf]

We now have an AppVeyor build for variants: https://github.com/ddugovic/Stockfish/blob/master/deploy/msys.sh

Right now it only profile-builds binaries. It could be extended with tests. (I am not sure if that's nescessary. I don't think we ever had a Windows-only bug.)

Should we maybe link the downloadable binary snapshots in the README or the Wiki?

So all i have to do is paste _msys.sh_ text into mingw64.exe right?

I tried that, it didn't work.

Yes, linking to downloadable binary snapshots in the README and/or the Wiki sounds useful.

[Nordlandia]

What do you mean by change YOUR_USERNAME ?

C:\msys64\home\Username\makefish.sh ?

How do i open makefish.sh?

Maybe it's easier to share/upload compiles for download.

@Nordlandia
I moved my posts in a new Issue (click here https://github.com/ddugovic/Stockfish/issues/457) to keep clean from OT this Issue

@ddugovic @niklasf added the links also in the wiki page
