Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The two main package managers in use in the python ecosystem are pip and conda. Conda additionally manages virtual environments and is the easiest way to install dependencies for spatial packages on windows. However, aequilibrae is not available on conda-forge at the moment, so it needs to be installed with pip within a conda env. As reported in #261 and in discussions at https://groups.google.com/g/aequilibrae, this leads to problems.
Describe the solution you'd like
Make aequilibrae available on conda-forge. As a first step, generate a recipe so we can make the latest version available. As a second step, add automatic builds and uploads to workflows.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Getting rid of windows forever.
Additional context
See https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/adding_pkgs.html for instructions. Since there is compiled code involved, using grayskull will not generate a valid recipe I think, so we need to start from https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/blob/master/recipes/example/meta.yaml
