Include bat file for Windows users

[wyattscarpenter]

For Windows Reasons™, you can't just run wyag from the command line. You should include a file wyag.bat that will allow the user to to this. Here's all it has to be:

python wyag %*

I would add it myself but the literate programming syntax befuddles me.

Thanks! Would it work without indirecting through the unix-style executable? Something like:

REM wyag.BAT
python -c 'import libwyag; main()' %*

?

[wyattscarpenter]

Yep, seems to work! It would have to be

python -c "import libwyag; libwyag.main()" %*

This also seems to me to violate DRY, although perhaps there are other advantages that would justify that.

Incidentally, since I suppose you might have to specify the mode of this file in your literate programming format, I've literally never been clear on whether you're supposed to chmod +x (so to speak) Windows bat files and exes. On the one hand, they are executable. On the other hand, Windows doesn't use that bit anyway and some people seem to interpret the executable bit as a convention for executable-on-unix (eg, if text, a shell script or something with a shebang). I'm not even sure how you would find a definitive answer to this question beyond privately reasoning to the conclusion that seems most tenable to you. Opinions are probably easy to find, though :^)
