I don't know how to to do build of recent Axiom.silver on Windows.
There are many options:
* Bill maintains a branch of Axiom with changes only for windows.
As far as I know it isn't up to date
* Axiom.build-improvements builds on Windows, all platforms
supported by Axiom.silver, and many more.
* Axiom.wh-sandbox, based on Axiom.build-improvements, support
similar number of achitectures and have more fixes.
I'm trying to get initial bits of Axiom.build-improvements to
Axiom.silver. Those bits will be incremental -- I'm afraid.

Different people have different opinions on the matter.
I have been doing native builds of Axiom on Windows and I'm happy with
it. Last time I tried, Axiom build on Cygwin won't succeed because of
GCL issues.
