Description
The commonmark executable does not run on Windows because it reads /dev/stdin as a file. The project also uses Make and various *nix commands for development instead of standard npm scripts.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the commonmark executable failure on Windows and inspect how it reads /dev/stdin. Then review the Make and *nix development commands alongside the available npm scripts. Done means the executable runs on Windows and the documented development workflow no longer depends on those platform-specific commands.
