Windows binaries on appveyor latest build

First install the GTK development packages. On Debian/Ubuntu derivatives this can be done as follows:

apt install libgtk-3-dev

On Fedora:

dnf install atk-devel cairo-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel glib2-devel gtk3-devel pango-devel  

Then install the latest rust compiler, best with the rustup tool. The build command:

cargo build --release

Neovim-gtk can be compiled using MSYS2 GTK packages. In this case use 'windows-gnu' rust toolchain.
