Windows Support Testing #9

Want to get this onto public CRAN. One of the big questions is if UpDraft will work in a Windows environment. The package was built with the idea of parallelizing through fork (through the futures package) which is not supported with Windows. So, need to check if all the current functionality of UpDraft is maintained with multisession. If all the unit tests pass in a Windows environment, then this is already done. Otherwise, just documenting what breaks is a good first start.

This might not actually be needed -- public CRAN requires cross platform support for at least 2 major operating systems and know UpDraft works for both OS X and Linux already. Regardless, worth trying to support Windows.
