Hi Julia Community!

I need some help adding support for Windows users in the build script of a package I maintain ([Maxima.jl](https://github.com/nsmith5/Maxima.jl)). Maxima ships an executable installer from their [website](https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-Windows/5.39.0-Windows/) but I have no idea how run this installer from my build.jl script. Any other package maintainers our there or Windows users that can point me in the right direction?

Thanks!  
Nathan
