[Dune] Install DUNE on Windows

[Christian Engwer]

Hi,

I don't know anything about windows 8.1, but your best bet is to use the development version with cmake. With some extra work you might be able to compile it under visual studio and the Intel compiler. Rumours state that clang might also work with visual studio. If you want to use make for building your applications, you will have to  install either msys or cygwin.

The other problem is that windows does not support the whole POSIX api. You must either patch some code in dune-common or use the cygwin libc  implementation.

In general I suggest to get familiar with dune on a Linux system, of nothing helps you can easily install Ubuntu under VirtualBox, and then later switch to windows.
