Two questions in ignorance...


Why do we download & install Cygwin when it seems already included?
https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-environment/#mingw-msys-cygwin


I don't see  "image:"  in
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/.appveyor.yml
so should I presume our builds use "Visual Studio 2015" image?
