Automating GHC build for Windows

[Austin Seipp]

Hi Roman,

Yes, what Adam said is accurate: we're working on integrating Windows
into our build pipeline on Phabricator. As well as that, Gabor's bots
(at http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders) also build on Windows.

You can see the build results on the ghc-builds at haskell.org mailing list.

But we can always use more help! GHC on Windows has a small amount of
hackers, so any amount of help will make a small difference.
