There used to be a Borg package [0], for the Chocolatey package manager, 
that didn't require a Linux subsystem or even Cygwin (or maybe it was 
installed automatically as a dependency), but it was removed a few 
months ago. I guess it wasn't kept up to date.

Does anyone here know if there is a new package coming up, and what 
package manager is preferred for Windows these days? I'm sure the 
package wasn't official or anything. Still, someone here might know 
something.
