[Bug-apl] Windows Linux Subsystem

Sure, why not try? Indeed, as I understand it, this will run linux
binaries. You will need:


        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fdeabe6c000)
        libncurses.so.6 => /lib64/libncurses.so.6 (0x00007fdeabc42000)
        libtinfo.so.6 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.6 (0x00007fdeaba16000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib64/libnsl.so.1 (0x00007fdeab7fd000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fdeab475000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fdeab16b000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fdeaaf54000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fdeaab91000)

(or similar) shared objects. These are all standard. I don't even think
a recompile will be needed.

However, (again, as far as I know), the "linux" environment will not be
able to share files with the Windows side. Perhaps a modification of
AP210/APserver could be made, if needed. I think I will scratch at that
problem.

Then again, Cygwin does not suffer from that particular problem. And, it
shouldn't even be that big of an issue, because workspaces should be ok.
