[yocto] Targeting Windows platform

2018-03-13 Thread Isaac Nickaein
I know the idea is wild and possibly not a top priority (or even priority) of the community, but extending the area of Yocto to support Windows platform can make it the ubiquitous build system for the enterprise, especially in embedded companies that have a mixture of embedded and desktop applicati
