Prebuilt Windows Version #44

I would really like to have a Windows version of this software. My development environment is Windows (no gcc or cygwin) and the Linux machines I use I do not have sudo privileges on. Any chance we could get the occasional Windows .exe compilation to make things easier for those of us who do do work on Windows?

A pure Windows version of the software is unlikely to happen at this point. There are quit a few UNIXism that I would have to change. It probably would take more time than I have right now.

On the Linux issue, you do not need to have sudo rights to install Jellyfish. To install in your home directory, do:

./configure --prefix=$HOME make make install

Provided that $HOME/bin is in your PATH, then 'jellyfish --help' should work.
