GSOC’17 Eighth Week: 16 June 2017- 23 July 2017

This week we merged our windows compatibility branch. And with that cwltool is officially windows compatible. Here is the final PR.
There were some minor changes like better formatting and improving variable names. After that we added warning when default container for windows is referenced suggesting users to embed a custom Docker within their workflow file.
We added documentation for windows users of cwltool which includes some common problems they may encounter while setting up there docker on windows.
My mentors have suggested me some interesting bugs/features that I can work on from now on. Some of the issues are setting up some tests for cwltool, allowing http/s files as input and running cwltool from within Jupyter Notebook.
I hope it would continue to be a interesting and informative journey.
