No windows support

[crlf0710]

It seems it only supports linux?

[rabite0]

Since OsStr(ing)Ext is platform specific, no, no Windows support at this time. I can take a look at how much work it would be to support Windows.

[rabite0]

This took a while, but Windows has some (experimental) support now. If you still care feel free to check it out.

Hi, I just came across this crate, and it still fails to compile on Windows:
[Edit]: I fixed part of it, see PR linked below.

I recently found this crate and I love the idea of it but I haven't been able to get it working. Upon building, I get the following errors.
