[mary-users] Build Voices under Windows

[Ingmar Steiner]

Hi Jerome,

it's the various third-party tools that are the issue here. Even though 
they're invoked by the Gradle plugins (or legacy VoiceImportTools), 
getting some of them (particularly the Edinburgh Speech Tools) installed 
under Windows can be tricky.

Alternatively, even on a Windows system, you have numerous options to 
run some or all of the voicebuilding process

- inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox, VMware, etc.) with a linux guest OS
- in the Windows Subsystem for Linux
- under Cygwin
- via Docker
etc.

If you run into a specific problem, please open an issue on GitHub as 
appropriate.

Best wishes,

-Ingmar
