Good suggestion. Unfortunately,that's how I've been testing all along.
I thought that would be sufficient, but seems like this might be more
specific to the Windows #ifdef's.

I have another version on my devbox which fixes the (embarrassing)
Travis failure for non-EXEC_BACKEND due to a dropped semicolon during
rebase. I'm setting up my own appveyor instance with Tomas's config
and will see if I can get to the bottom of this.
