@simon-p-r starting from a fresh windows setup we were able to build the source and run the tests!

https://github.com/sheetjs/js-xlsx#windows is the relevant part of the documentation.

Configuration Steps:

git clone https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/
download the test files snapshot https://github.com/SheetJS/test_files/releases/download/20170409/test_files.zip
extract that to the test_files subdirectory in the source tree
npm install -g mocha and npm install

After making changes to the bits files, make.cmd will rebuild xlsx.js and mocha -t 30000 will run tests.

@simon-p-r updated the make.cmd script to streamline the process. Tested on an old Surface Pro 3 running windows 8.1 and everything seemed to work! Since we aren't using any powershell features it should work back to Windows 7.

Preparation:

Install node (6.10.2 in this test but other versions work too)
Install git windows (2.12.2.2 in this test), use default options (core.autocrlf = true)
Download the test files release from the test_files repo

Commands:

make init to install dependencies and dev modules
make will build the source
make lint will run the linter
make misc will run a small set of tests
make test will run the full tests
make book will update the README from the docbits.
