Installing project using bolt on Windows fails with "$binary is not a symlink" #218

Title	Description
Version	0.21.2, 0.22.6, master
Type	Issue
node	6
Operating System	Windows
Short Description	`bolt` fails with "$binary is not a symlink"

It seems that the binary symlinking code doesn't work on Windows. The exact version numbers link to AppVeyor builds for Electron Forge where running bolt fails when it tries to install acorn's acorn.ps1 file. master links to a testsuite run of bolt itself (from #217), specifically one of the symlink-related tests that fail.

I have encountered the same issue and it seems like its because bolt gets the powershell shim and "read-cmd-shim" still doesnt support it so it throws ENOTASHIM.
