1) fs-ext does not work on Windows 10 outside of WSL.
2) We can't build the standalone in WSL (it requires "native" Windows tools)
3) fs-ext was no longer necessary - latest version of Node has all required functions incorporated into code base.
These changes remove the fs-ext dependency, allowing native Windows support (and therefore Standalone build support.)
