Run a build using travis windows vm
Travis newly supports windows builds. There should be native windows / MSVC build running in travis.
Related: #282
There has not been any activity in the past month. Is there anything to follow-up?

What would be the benefit of a native Windows build? For a user it shouldn't make much of a difference, provided the build works, should it?
Bitcoin (and once we merge with 0.17, us too) can be built using MSVC natively. Having a build that runs that ensures that we do not destroy this capability.

Ok, that makes sense. So it would be for CI, not for release builds, right?
Yes, the windows build would be for CI. It says "travis" in the title, but yes, that means "CI".
All release builds, even the macOS one, are cross-compiled in the same gitian linux-based environment, if I'm not mistaken.
