Using Alire on WSL

Just a heads up on using Alire on WSL2, from what I’m seeing it’s faster than using Alire native on Windows (well, it’s not really native). The Linux version of Gnat Studio also works. Here’s a couple of alr build tests:

          On WSL2 Ubuntu-22.04            On Native Windows 11
Hello      0.53 seconds.                   0.77 seconds.
Aws crate 49.72 seconds.                  70.14 seconds.

I’d say not bad!
