I've noticed that several of the core libraries rely on Appveyor with
good results. However, I had assumed that GHC would exceed the maximum
build time of their free tier since the build takes a few hours on my
Windows box. It seems that Appveyor has a one-hour build duration limit,
similar to Travis.
