+How to build jemalloc for Windows

+1. Install Cygwin with at least the following packages:

+   * autogen
+   * gawk
+   * grep
+   * sed
+
+2. Install Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 with Visual C++
+
+3. Add Cygwin\bin to the PATH environment variable
+
+4. Open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017"
+   (note: x86/x64 doesn't matter at this point)
+
+5. Generate header files:
+   sh -c "CC=cl ./autogen.sh"
+
+6. Now the project can be opened and built in Visual Studio:
