At the moment my windows installs fail on this NifiGroovyTest, where it
tries to generate and reference a linux style path. I saw a recent email
discussion that seemed to bring up a similar issue
[here](http://apache-nifi.1125220.n5.nabble.com/Build-Failure-for-project-nifi-toolkit-cli-td24180.html).

It is to be noted that I am very new to developing on this project and
could just be environment issues! :)
