[Vm-dev] Windows Subsystem For Linux

[Tim Felgentreff]

64bit Spur has been working fine for some time on the WSL, the main
limitation I see right now is now no accelerated rendering, sound, or
direct hardware access. But for my day to day use it's been working fine.

A shared memory region could be used by special VM plugins to enable that
access.
