I don't appear to have admin rights on Appveyor either. Also, there
doesn't appear to be an appveyor.yml file in the CPython repository,
so I'm not clear how the build process has been configured. Does
anyone have that information? (And I'd strongly recommend that if
we're somehow configuring the builds via the Appveyor UI, we move to
using a config file like we do for Travis, so that diagnosis and fixes
can be done without needing to access the Appveyor admin interface...)
