Windows support

[sburke56]

I noticed in the TODO file there is "Windows support" at the top. Is this supported?

I'm trying to build on Windows with a VS2014 shell and I'm stopping at the check for nanomsg. I was able to build nanomsg I'm just not sure how to tell waf where it is. Any help would be appreciated.

D:\Users\sburke\sandbox\nanomsgxx>python waf configure
Setting top to : D:\Users\sburke\sandbox\nanomsgxx
Setting out to : D:\Users\sburke\sandbox\nanomsgxx\build

I have very little experience with Windows platforms so I'm really not sure how to help with that. I guess you need to have nanomsg installed at some standard path where the compiler can find it and it should work.

I have gotten it building on windows and linux (cross platform) with both clang and msvc with this build file: https://gist.github.com/jaynus/6b03724ba94500d267edb002cdfc72ee

This isn't a production file, but should get you started. Please note this file wasn't designed to build in the 'root' of nanomsgxx, you'll want to change NANOMSGXX_DIR appropriately for that.
