For Linux and Mac, a pip install of xscope_fileio will build the host endpoint in the host directory so it is ready to use.
For a general Windows system, we can't assume a particular build command because there are multiple options (for example: just nmake, or create a whole VisualStudio project?)
Currently setup.py skips the build commands on Windows, but it would be nicer to do something more useful like check if the endpoint is present and display a warning to say that it needs to be built manually in the correct directory.
