Description

I do see that you call out in the README, but obviously including the binaries for Windows would be ideal.

I opened up an issue over at @openzim/libzim, since it seems like building libzim for Windows is a pain point.

Start with the Windows support note in README and review the linked openzim/libzim issue 846, which identifies building libzim for Windows as a pain point. Determine the required libzim and node-libzim build outputs; done means usable Windows binaries are included and documented.
