I've added Windows support and the ability to pass boolean options so that
you can control the behavior of htmltidy when it cleanses the HTML input.
I've added some sample settings to the test stack for testing.

If anybody would like to add Linux support it should just be a matter of
following the build instructions provided by htmltidy and added the
resulting library to an `x86-linux` folder in the code folder:

You can find a link to the htmltidy build instructions in the product
README:
