[plug] need to convert to windows based script

[Benjamin J Keith]

Have a look at AutoIT:

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

It is a VB-esque scripting language and includes tools for making a script 
into a windows .exe file.  It also allows window/mouse automation and has 
some simple GUI tools to allow for some user interaction.
