This extracts part of #17 (which I still want to come back to). findwinsdk is an early version of what became msvs-detect which now lives at https://github.com/metastack/msvs-tools.

The benefits of the switch are threefold:

  • It's slightly faster, inasmuch as it detects the x86 and x64 compiler in a single call
  • It's maintained, so it detects more recent Visual Studio installations
  • It fixes AppVeyor (or at least it did on the run on my fork...)

I intentionally haven't updated the AppVeyor matrix to include recent compilers, pending #78

The test should be the oldest version supporting the bootstrap (4.03.0),
the currently supported versions of OCaml (latest, and latest - 1) and
trunk.
