Support for Windows Subsystem Linux #30

Open jaxn opened 7 years ago

When Ruby is running inside of WSL, it can be difficult to tell the difference between truly running on Linux and running within WSL.

The best way I have found to identify if it is WSL is...

def self.wsl?
  `cat /proc/version` =~ /Microsoft/ if linux?
end

I am happy to submit a patch and test if wanted.
