ENH: Add support for Windows #7

Windows uses .bat files instead of Makefiles.

We are not currently testing or supporting Windows at this stage - but it will be a big user group to cater for.

As a windows user, I think it is reasonable to insist on WSL being used at this point for something of this type. You will need to test it once, but generally the Ubuntu on windows is very feature compete for non x windows stuff

I wrote https://github.com/ubcecon/cluster_tools/blob/master/WSL.md for some setup instructions if you want to adapt them.

We wrote up instructions for using WSL here: https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-source-jl#usage

That said, it would be great to get windows native support. In that case, I think you can require mingw or something with make support on windows. But even with those right now, the setup doesn't work on windows (i.e. if I call jupinx directly)
