Graal for Windows?

[Doug Simon]

Hi Halimi,

We are very close to having a Windows machine in our CI system. Once that's up and running and gating Graal commits, we will be able to declare Windows a supported platform for *Graal* development and update the relevant documentation.

Aleksandar Pejovic may be able to provide further detail and more precise timelines.

There's a short mention of it in the wiki (here: https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/compiler/README.md, mention of using mx.cmd instead of mx) but the steps are bash-specific and unclear.
