Re: GSOC Build tests

[Greg Williamson]

Ok I believe I was able to commit to savannah but the message is a bit cryptic:

[greg@greg-desktop savannah-freetype2]$ git push --set-upstream origin

 * [new branch]          GSoC-2020-greg -> GSoC-2020-greg
Branch 'GSoC-2020-greg' set up to track remote branch 'GSoC-2020-greg'
from 'origin'.

I also added a readme as requested in CI/readme.md.

Can anyone confirm this worked and tell me how I can link to it in my
final evaluation?

I was also able to fix a few msys build errors but I still cannot
build demos in msys due it trying to include termios.h which is not
available. For now, I've temporarily disabled building demos for that
platform.
