[Jython-bugs] [issue1491] [Windows] Include a native command line launcher for Windows

[Philip J. <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Philip Jenvey <pj...@un...>:

The most full proof way of solving the .bat file launcher 
incompatibilities (inconsistent arg handling: #1356, #1371, setuptools 
script launcher doesn't work on Windows: #1112) on Windows is to include 
a native .exe launcher

Groovy has had one for a while now: 
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Native+Launcher

But JRuby just recently created their own for their 1.4 release:
http://github.com/vvs/jruby-launcher

Since our .sh/.bat launchers are based off JRuby's, adopting their .exe 
launcher should probably be pretty straightforward
