How much do we care about charm development on Windows (both windows charms
and development on windows machines)?

The reason I ask is that Horacio is starting on the charm-sync task from
the pain points spreadsheet (syncing the charm files local <-> unit during
charm development & debugging).

Obviously if we can just use scp, it's fairly trivial, but Windows servers
don't ship with an SSH server enabled by default and Windows clients don't
have scp.  Go has a robust SSH server
<https://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/go.crypto/ssh> that we could easily
run on a Windows machine, but obviously that's more work than just using
the built-in stuff on Linux.

So, how much time and effort do we want to spend to support Windows?

My ideal would be feature parity on Windows.  I know in my years as a
Windows developer, I always felt really annoyed that Windows was constantly
a second class citizen.  And I know there are a *ton *of enterprise
customers that only deal with Windows, who would love to be able to deploy
their stuff with the ease Juju provides.
