Unable to clone repository on Windows #52

I'm unable to clone the repository on Windows. It appears to be due to Window's limitation with directories with certain names. In this case, the aux directory under the emk directory.

https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/windows-10-still-wont-let-you-use-these-file-names-reserved-in-1974/ explains that some names are reserved which includes aux.

Note: I am able to clone using git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/blake-regalia/graphy.js.git but git clone https://github.com/blake-regalia/graphy.js.git errors with "error: invalid path 'emk/aux/README-defer.md'". I get the same error in Windows PowerShell and git-bash.

Would you be willing to rename the aux directory to something like auxiliary or something else (well, not something in the reserved list)?
