Newer version should compile properly, Plan 9 will be tested more when I have free time

Would close #14, #15

You can "cross-compile" by doing this

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build

which builds it for Windows

HOWEVER

This may be a failure on my end using wrong compile flags but...

this was "resolved" by building it on the windows vm directly and then it actually ran as expected

Since Windows docker containers cannot be ran on Linux, most likely anything Windows related will need to be tested on Windows directly either in a vm or some other solution.

On further investigation this seems to be because of specific build constraints in the /x/sys/windows package

This means it is refusing to build on Linux which I thought we could mitigate by including our own build constraints.

So I pulled the windows stuff into it's own file and attempted to build the project with the following

//go:build windows && amd64
// +build windows,amd64

so it would only build the file on windows/amd64 however I now get

imports git.froth.zone/sam/awl/port: build constraints exclude all Go files in /home/grumb/programming/awl/port

which explains why I could only build it on the windows vm or with GOOS windows the /x/sys/windows/ package refuses to build unless GOOS=windows.
