swank should provide a portable way to do that.
Gnu make is often installed with cygwin (but not so many people install cygwin). Microsoft Visual Studio ships with a program called nmake - mostly compatible with make, but not completely. Again, not everyone have Visual Studio. Actually, make is not that necessary, it's just one C file we need to compile, the compile.bat from the tests directory is OK (but anyway requires Microsoft Visual C compiler).
In short, even if we implement the compile-op for windows, it is going to fail for 85% of users.
I think it's OK to ask user to compile the library manually.
Sure, but it's not suitable for a buildbot or something along those lines. I assume that at some point test results for cl-test-grid will be provided by automated runs?
I've registered this issue in the bug tracker...
