Add ability to build using an alternate yml using the build api.
We have some tests we need to run on an alternate VM Template.

Would it be possible to add a parameter to the rest API to start the build a parameter to specify an alternate yml file:
http://www.appveyor.com/docs/api/projects-builds#start-build-of-bra...

Another implementation would be just to allow overriding the os template in the call. This probably works better for my purposes, but the former suggestion is more similar to an existing feature and is more flexible.

   What are the images you currently use for testing?

   We are currently using Windows Server 2012 R2. We want our standard builds
   to be fast, but want to occasionally use the unstable build.

   What do you use from "unstable" image? We already deployed a lot of stuff from there to default image: http://www.appveyor.com/updates/2015/05/30
