I build most of my binaries after calling the correct vcvarsall.bat so I did not notice until today, when I was trying to build outside that environment. Also, I misread your comment (https://bugs.python.org/issue31340#msg301538) earlier and did not worry at that time. I guess this might become a bigger issue once Appveyor switches to Python 3.6.3. Projects using Anaconda's prebuilt static libraries for v140 will fail to link. How about giving priority to VS 2015, i.e. "If you have VS 2015 then it will use that"?
