To make the software available for windows user, some flags have been added to make easy and straightforward to build the tool on Cygwin.
Two flags have been added:
O_CYGWIN which activate building for cygwin.
O_LIBXLSXWRITER_ROOT which points to the root of the libxlsxwriter cloned project.
To link libxlsxwriter, the makefile is relying on pkg-config to detect if the library is correctly installed, which does not work on cygwin since ldconfig does not exist. Therefore the library should be linked manually. And that is exactly what this PR is enabling.
N.B: Guides on how to build on windows environment will be added after the merge.
N.B: The build has been tested on the latest cygwin environment available v3.4.9.
