Use Chocolatey to add Windows support
Chocolatey is a nifty CLI package manager for Windows, that already has a package for Emacs.
Could evm add support for Windows by leveraging Chocolatey?
You mean add Evm to Chocolatey? I have no idea. I don't know anything about Windows so I have no clue. Someone using Windows would have to investigate more.
Packages in Evm are installed in /usr/local/evm. I don't know how Chocolatey works and if it simulates a Unix file system. If it does not, changes to the Evm code would be necessary.
Adding evm to Chocolatey is not a bad idea, though I meant to suggest something slightly different. I thought evm my use Chocolatey to install the desired Emacs version.
I don't think adding support for 3d party tools is a good idea. If Evm would add support for Chocolatey, then someone else would come along and say, can you also add support for this Windows tool, I don't use Chocolatey, and so on...
If it was a standardized format, it would be another thing. But now, I think it would be better to add Evm to Chocolatey.

I think that's a fine solution.
