[pdal] PDAL install

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Samantha,

If you are looking for a solution where you just extract a zipfile on 
Windows and run: try MS4W, which includes PDAL (and includes Python 
3.7.5).  The steps are:
  - download zip from https://ms4w.com
  - extract to root of drive (C:/)
  - open CMD window
  - cd c:/ms4w
  - setenv.bat
  - python --version
  - pdal --drivers
