Do not automatically scrape windows-only packages #346

Closed jeroen closed 5 months ago

There are 13 packages with OS_type: windows on https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES They cause a lot of headaches and seem to be mostly legacy. Some can be installed on Linux with --fake but for most this fails because they import windows-only functions from utils. Let's remove them.
