Windows Build Environment

Would be good if the readme described the expected windows build environment a bit more.
Agree, will do. I don't remember exactly right now the setup, I have to relaunch the EC2 instance with Windows 10 that I used to build the Windows releases, but I think all I had to install was Visual Studio and msys2 (along with some dependencies like git).
VisualStudio2017 and the following packages seemed to do it:
pacman -Sy
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb
pacman -S git
pacman -S make
pacman -S curl
curl and tar were broken in my fresh install of msys2. The build worked fine by downloading and unpacking Chez with other methods though.
Listed dependencies here: 113f7a3#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8R65
Now every new release gets binaries built automatically with Travis (this includes Windows).
