Windows Build

After installing the dependencies and completing the preparations,

installer, which sets up shortcuts to launch Firefox on Windows.

console wrapper.

I highly recommend you look into the Chocolatey package manager, which makes it much
easier to configure these tools and keep them up to date.
**Prerequisites:** You need to have OpenJDK 14 or greater installed and configured

your `%PATH%`. You need to have Apache Ant installed and configured with `%ANT_HOME%`

select "Checkout as is, commit as is" and leave line-endings alone.
**Prerequisites:** In addition to the other prerequisites, you will need to to have
`make` installed with `cygwin`. If you are using this method, you cannot use the
automated build scripts without a hack. You will need to create a file called `wsl`
in a place that is in the path used by `git-bash.exe` sessions, with the content:
TODO: Add links to the respective instructions for each of these.
```
#! /usr/bin/env bash
$@
```
For our purposes, as long as everything else is set up and you're using git bash,
that is enough to make the scripts compatible with `cygwin`. Cygwin builds without
git bash are not likely to work.
1. Run the Cygwin `setup-$arch.exe` for your platform to set up new packages. Select the `make` `jq` `dos2unix` and `curl` packages.
2. Open a cygwin terminal.
