Research direction

The issue proposes publishing the coreutils collection in the Windows Store, but names no files, tests, or release entry points. Start by reviewing the project's existing distribution and release process, then determine the Windows Store packaging, upgrade, and submission requirements. Done would mean an agreed implementation and publishing plan.

Description

P - Windows

Although it is not widely known, the Windows Store allows installation of command line binaries into a directory that is in the user's PATH. Having this collection of tools available to Windows users with a straightforward method for installation and upgrades would be a huge benefit.
