Just to confirm, rebar *does* work on Windows, even for compiling
NIFs. Obviously the C code needs to support an appropriate compiler in
the first place, but that's not rebar's fault. So far I have built via
rebar snappy, ejson, jiffy, erica, and a whole plethora of other tools
& projects, without needing a special unix shell, just erlang & rebar.
Many thanks to Basho & Tuncer for making that possible.

Loïc, I'll give cowboy a whirl on Windows sometime next week & will
send an issue or patch if reqd.

A+
