Research direction

The issue asks about using Appveyor for running automated tests on Windows for the sixten project. To determine feasibility, examine the repository's existing CI configuration (if any) in files like .travis.yml or appveyor.yml. Check comments for any discussion on build system requirements. Consider that the project is written in Haskell, so Windows support may require GHC and cabal/stack setup. Look for any linked PRs or maintainer responses that clarify the need.
