Thanks.  I hit an errors early on with MSVC.

I fixed a few, but I didn't spend much time on it.  Instead I added 
AppVeyor integration so anybody can experiment.

 
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jrfonseca/mesademos/build/job/qysf73s4975i2w36

   https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jrfonseca/mesademos/log/?h=meson-appveyor

I had to push to a private git repos since I'd need a FDO admin to 
install Appveyor hook on the official mesa demos repo.  I'll get that 
going but it'll probably take time.

Given you use Github, it should be trivial to hook Appveyor on your 
mesademos repos in github.
