New patch from Andrew Luo 1. Got rid of EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX in favor of EXE_SUFFIX, which had to move earlier in the sequence 2. Use instead of .exe literal per Magnus' feedback 3. Added information about WSL versioning to build, similar to Cygwin 4. Updated building.md and building.html with WSL build instructions
