Windows seems to be a second class citizen as far as clojure tools go.  I
wasn't able to figure out how to get it going on Windows either which makes
things much harder considering so many clojure projects are now using it.

Getting swank-clojure going in Windows is also a pain.  To install it the
recommended way via ELPA you need to patch the ELPA source code first.  This
isn't documented at the swank-clojure site either.

I'm hopeful this situation will improve going forward but right now things
are still very bleeding edge.
