Hey Laszlo,

I don't know anything about building CUDA or Windows for that matter, but 
you probably have to change this 
line<https://github.com/lindahua/CUDA.jl/blob/master/src/base.jl#L9>to be 
windows specific (the shared library "libcuda" is named differently 
on Windows).  See this example from OpenCL.jl for how to select the shared 
library name based on the current platform 
https://github.com/jakebolewski/OpenCL.jl/blob/master/src/api.jl#L5-L15.

It's best to keep in mind that this is a relatively small community of 
*volunteers.  
*Similar to many open-source communities, the vast majority of active 
contributors use unix systems.   I'm always happy when Windows users help 
me port something to work on that platform as I don't have acess to a 
Windows machine, or knowledge of Windows development in general.

Best,
Jake
