Add windows-build-tools to readme #54

Closed felixrieseberg closed 8 years ago

Installing the dependencies for node-gyp is a manual and somewhat complicated process. The windows-build-tools package automates the whole process specifically for node-gyp users, condensing the whole installation and configuration process to a one-liner.

Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install -g windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell (run as Administrator).

This PR just adds a reference to the tutorial.
