[foreign] Running tests on Windows

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

First off - thanks for doing this; it's immensely appreciated.

as for this:

JtregNativeJdk.gmk:96: warning: ignoring old recipe for target 
'/cygdrive/j/cygwin64/home/Jorn/cygwin-projects/panama/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/support/test/jdk/jtreg/native/lib/Hello.dll'

I'm getting similar warnings too, but for Hello.so. I think that's how 
supposed to work but then again I'm not a build guru and I haven't 
digged too deep (yet) to figure out what's causing that. But I get that 
too, so I think we can ignore that for the time being.

I agree that we should focus on Win x64.

About the 'cannot locate clang' that's the first hurdle that we should 
be able to solve. First question: what's in your /cygdrive/j/LLVM 
folder? Is that a straight download of the LLVM binaries?

Maurizio
