Windows support unclear #168

Description

I have encountered the following problems while trying to test confab on Windows, and they suggest that this program's support for Windows may currently be broken:

  • Trying to run the integration tests on GitHub Actions' Windows runners failed due to expectrl being unable to capture any of confab's output. This may be expectrl's fault; see Doesn't work on Windows in GitHub Actions zhiburt/expectrl#52.

  • When I tried running confab in a Windows VM (inside a git bash shell), pressing "Return" did not cause confab to process or send any input or even to output the next prompt. This is presumably the fault of either the VM or rustyline-async.

To Any Interested Windows Users: I would appreciate feedback on whether confab works for you on your platform. Did you compile from source or download a release binary? If confab doesn't work, does this test program work?
