…dows. Since Windows default locale encoding for open() is cp1252, the encoding for reading a file is now explicit as utf8. Also, there was a "unresolved external" link time error once the extension was changed to 'quickumls_simstring/_simstring' but is now set to '_simstring' for Windows.
…were being installed to install_dir instead of install_dir/quickumls_simstring which would prevent the lib from being found in Windows after install. Tried several other options to make this work but since the documentation for Extension says that the name of an extension should not be a filename (https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.core.Extension) this was the best solution I could find.

The first commit here allowed the runtime lib (_simstring) to be built under Windows, but the installation was still not correct. Since this lib is expected to be found under [install_dir]/quickumls_simstring, I made some modifications to ensure that the library gets installed there to work around the Extension name having a subdirectory in its name. Any questions on this one? I might host this update on a conda channel since we'd like to feature QuickUMLS in some upcoming medspacy presentations. |

This was able to build on Windows before pip support was added but there were two errors after the commit for this (e5ff000).
If this is accepted, it would be great to bump the version number to enable Windows building again
