I allowed for MSYS as an OS option for Windows. This can happen if you manipulate the PATH variable. I understand this isn't always recommended, but I wanted to make a build similar to an R setup with PS, RTools, Git, CMake installed with those bare requirements in the PATH (along with Appveyor utilities).

I can simply set

environment:
  global:
    R_CHECK_INSTALL_ARGS: "--install-args=--build --no-multiarch"

I see that you are working with tic (https://github.com/ropenscilabs/tic), and I'm not sure how this will work, but figured this may be a useful simple fix for Windows.

Example: https://github.com/muschellij2/ITKR and Appveyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/muschellij2/itkr/history

Any idea on this?

Thanks. This code is taken from the now-abandoned r-travis (?) project, and will likely become obsolete with tic, too.
