Review: how to use if not on windows?

[cthoyt]

It's not a common choice to package code in a windows-only executable. Most scientists are using Mac or Linux, so this makes it difficult for those users to use your code. Further, there are pretty big security concerns for downloading some exe off of the internet and running it, so I would say this is not the way you should be distributing your code. See #1 and #2 for a better alternative.
