Anyone know why Windows is left off this list? Is it just that the supported OS’s share a *nix background so porting is more straightforward? Or is there some deeper reason why?

The library the toolkit is based on is called HElib and the developers (myself included) did not have the bandwidth to port anything to Windows. The core library and dependencies are Linux native. As it is, we are a bit behind on the Linux and android toolkits. With limited time and energy, we chose the most closely related platforms that all have Unix like underpinnings.
