Winure: WSL inurement tools

These are tools I use to use Windows primarily through WSL.

`mkwin`

A Linux utility to quickly make a bash script to run a Windows executable with certain parameters.

`path-convert`

A Linux utility to canonicalize and convert paths from Unix to DOS, which makes it easier to open programs like explorer from WSL. This solves hiccups from paths like missing support for symbolic links, mismatched path separators, inability to handle spaces in directory names, and resolves C-drive paths to their normal DOS form.

`qdls`

A DOS clone of ls that hides Windows hidden files.

Scripts

dos.sh: Simple wrapper for executing Windows commands directly.
elevate.sh: Elevate WSL (-l) or Windows (-w) commands from WSL.
explorer.sh: Launch explorer from WSL.
terminal.sh: Launch Windows Terminal.
