Description
I'm on Windows 7 64-bit with python v2.7.4 and npm v1.4.9
After calling `npm install -g peerwiki`, it gets some of the way but gives the following error because obviously Windows (native DOS prompt) doesn't understand what the sh extension is for. So could you mention that its not for Windows (yet) in the README.
```
'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
gyp: Call to 'sh liblzma-config.sh C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\nodejs.commandline.0.12.0\tools\node_modules\peerwiki\node_modules\lzma-native/build C:\ProgramData\choco
latey\lib\nodejs.commandline.0.12.0\tools\node_modules\peerwiki\node_modules\lzma-native/deps/xz-5.0.6.tar.bz2' returned exit status 1. while trying to load binding.gyp
```

Document that peerwiki is not currently supported on Windows, including the sh-related installation limitation shown in the issue; done means the platform limitation is clear to prospective users.
