Based on the instructions on the site, it looks like the next steps are
to build pil on Linux, and then run the linux binary on Windows through
flinux.

I have not tried pil in WSL yet (my only Windows text machine is Win7),
and I don't think that's a solution for my specific problem (to have a
simple environment for an end user with no technical experience) but I
have had some luck building pil with mingw/msys which provide a POSIX
compatibility layer on top of Windows. I have not (yet) managed to get
anything 100% working, but I'm optimistic. Currently if I build with
msys2, I can get an executable which I believe passed the tests, but
requires msys2.dll to be in the library path (which includes the
executable directory of course) but I believe that if you build with
mingw without msys, it builds against msvcrt directly, and links in the
compatibility layer. This is what I haven't managed yet.

As I said though, I'm optimistic, and it's something I need for my
project.
