Windows support

[davidanthoff]

On Windows, I cloned https://github.com/staticfloat/NettleBuilder and then try to run build_tarballs.jl. I get the following error:

INFO: Building nettle as it is unsatisfied
ERROR: LoadError: error compiling #DockerRunner#34: could not load library "libc"
The specified module could not be found.

Yeah....... that stuff should be wrapped in linux only stuff.

[staticfloat]

Fixed in de8d6df

[staticfloat]

Or rather, that particular issue is fixed, but windows support is still anyone's guess. So try again now?

[Keno]

Or wait until we've gotten around to actually trying this on other platforms ;).

Alright, I'll wait until you give a green light for Windows. Having said that, I did try it one more time ;) here is the log output:

Mmm, yeah, looks like the paths aren't getting passed to the windows docker daemon properly. We probably need to do the equivalent of cygpath -w to them. But this may become a moot issue, as Keno's next goal is to eliminate the need for Docker in the first place, so the official response here is "Hold Tight". :)
