windows: Add preliminary WSL support for npm and npx
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit would make it possible to run `npm` installed on Windows within Windows Subsystem for Linux.

It is required, however, that the end of line characters of `npm` and `npx` be `\n` for the fix to take effect.
