Without creating to much of an OS war here I think it would be quite
easy to run spamassassin inside a docker container on windows, thus
eliminating a lot of problems.
Perhaps this is the the way to go?

My opinion is to add the support for Windows so I don't foresee a
gigantic hurdle. Bang out whichever way works best for you because I
don't want to stand in the way of progress.
But yes, a -f and an is running windows logic check that then reads a
site config file sounds sane and unlikely to impact things too badly.
I don't see the need for a config option but if it's needed I would
support that too.

Here is where I am coming from. I am trying to minimize the number of
custom patches we have to apply before building SpamAssassin for Windows. That
benefits us because we do not have to merge when SpamAssassin gets updates. And
it benefits anyone else who is trying to run SpamAssassin on Windows.
That said, on Windows systems, preparing a Perl application for
distribution is unfortunately not as straight-forward as on Unix systems. While
the filesystem layout is standardized for Unix systems (at least for all
systems running a given distribution), it is not at all for Windows systems.
So, a distributor on a Unix system can simply set some of the variables
described in PACKAGING when he or she runs `perl Makefile.PL`. Unfortunately,
that does not work on Windows.
Currently, we are patching the various SpamAssassin scripts (sa-update,
spamassassin, spamd, etc.) so that they all read a `./path.config` file at
runtime. That is obviously!
not
very Unix-y. So, it might not be a great idea to merge this into upstream,
even behind `am_running_on_windows()`. (Or is it?)
I do not have any specific proposal at the moment. (A `--siteconfigpath`
option for sa-udpate would probably go a long way though). I am just trying to
raise awareness and solicit some opinions on the matter.
