Sergey,
As I mentioned in the original email, this doesn't work on Windows yet.
I'm leaving Window until the end as it has its own build system. That
should continue to work as-is.
Thank you for the report. The output gave me some clues already on what to
expect on windows, and it looks promising. I will update you When Windows
is ready for this.
