It provides stdint.h/inttypes.h but that's unneeded since MSVC 2013; building for Py3.6 requires MSVC 2015 anyways. See https://github.com/conda-forge/msinttypes-feedstock https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/c99-library-support-in-visual-studio-2013/ https://packaging.python.org/guides/packaging-binary-extensions/#binary-extensions-for-windows Also misc. cleanups to .appveyor.yml.
