Unable to install on Windows with node 0.6.7

[anandgeorge]

Tried installing expresso on Windows XP with Node 0.6.7. Log says .. 'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command. Kindly advise.

@visionmedia Could you make the preinstall script as an optional?

[osher]

I'm using GOW, so I have make, but it fails on the ./configure

cd deps/jscoverage && ./configure && make && mv jscoverage node-jscoverage
C:\DOCUME~1\osher\LOCALS~1\Temp\make43282.sh: exec format error: .\configure [1]
make: *** [deps/jscoverage/node-jscoverage] Error 1
npm ERR! error installing expresso@0.9.2

trying to run it mannually fails as well

> sh configure

(terminates with the dialog that notes that sh.exe needs to be closed, offering to report an error)

[osher]

if the jscoverage gives you trouble, consider not supporting it on windows.
But I think that exposing _expresso_ on windows will only do god to the project, to the TDD and to the industry

@osher agreed, I'd rather not have to install it on windows but I want to
