Hi @dstndstn

Since there is Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) available for Windows 10/11 OS, building and installing of astrometry.net on Windows is easier than ever. It's as easy as follow the WSL installation guide and from that point it's exactly the same as building/installing on Ubuntu or Debian systems. Tried it on my Windows 10 box and it works perfectly!

Maybe you can update the README and/or the Astrometry.net building/installing guide with this info.

BR,

Ladislav

Thanks -- any chance you'd be willing to update the documentation (https://github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net/blob/main/doc/build.rst) and send a Pull Request?
