(experimental) conda package for Windows

[orbeckst]

Even though we do not fully support Windows (yet) we would like to have (experimental) conda packages for Windows.

• Code that is not working yet should be disabled under Windows (example: GSD Reader).
• Have MDA issue an initial warning that Windows support is experimental.

(This came out of a discussion regarding the Workshop. We would like to test if the basic examples work under Windows.)

@kain88-de @tylerjereddy @richardjgowers do you know how to build Windows packages on conda-forge?

[tylerjereddy]

I'll make a note about this.. I think I'm slotted in as release manager for the next SciPy release so should probably brush up anyway.

The optimist in me hopes we can just delete the skip windows line here:

https://github.com/conda-forge/mdanalysis-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/meta.yaml#L16

Then maybe add any fixes that @tylerjereddy has had to use on our windows CI?

[kain88-de]

We remove the windows limitation in the build. There should be a line with skip. Afterwards you need to rerender the ci scripts with conda-smithy.
