Yes, but since window users will already be faced with an
unfamiliar environment, we might as well set up the build system
for them.

**IF** somebody wants to do this.  I don't think this will be
worth it as a chore, but if somebody enjoys tinkering with OSes,
and/or wants to learn about tinkering with virtualization and
OSes, we might as well harness that energy.  :)

Ick.  I'm not going to quibble with whatever distro somebody wants
to put on this, but if I went with Debian, I'd expect the entire
thing to be less than 700 megs, including the git source.
