It is a hell of a job, but it's already been done for you :)

PDAL is built with 2015 x86_64 on AppVeyor with every commit. See https://ci.appveyor.com/project/hobu/pdal/history for build status

Take a look at https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/tree/master/scripts/appveyor and especially https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/blob/master/appveyor.yml for inspiration to steal from to bootstrap your own environment.
