Curl not installed? Or not added in path?

Curl not installed? Or not added in path?

https://www.appveyor.com/docs/windows-images-software/

However ffi and compilation based dependencies often need more than just 'is the dll in the PATH'. It needs to be the right version, and not conflict with a dll already loaded, and other problems.

Also this depends on https://github.com/brianmario/escape_utils , which needs a compiler, and it needs make, and its generated makefile fails on msys due to path problem C:\.. vs /c/...

This issue exists as my new Windows builds (PR soon) are not solving this problem.

c.f. https://github.com/brianmario/escape_utils/pull/75 for some other Windows compilation problems.
