The main problem I can see with AppVayor is their authentication system. In Travis if you have owner status of the github repo you can access the settings. On AppVayor theve got there own auth system which as far as I can tell means the xoft has to create a user for us under his account. If we create a separate account that will have independent builds.

Its just that if appVayor is anything like travis sometimes builds get queued up which are irrelevant (docs changes, PRs that have already been changed) and it can be useful to be able to cancel builds sometimes.
Also builds error occasionally and need restarting. Or master changes and you want to test a PR again to see if it works now. (useful when someone breaks master)

Good job! I guess I should start on getting the proper nightbuild webpage up, so that we can make this official.

Windows 8 was great, but I downgraded to Windows 7 because there was a process that sometimes used 50% of my CPU ;(

I've just found a preprocessor (written in lua) for lua that adds static typing. I'm wondering if I could modify it so that it could output C instead of lua. The we could write the generator in typed lua and compile to C or openCL c or GLSL.
