Thank, you. That is good starting point. I took a look into the docs
pdf. Looks quite welldone.

However, I couldn't even test it because it requires windows enterprise.
Than it is done in C#, which is not that portable.

Researches for me:

1.) Can I set it up with the Cygwin compatibility layer?

There are no positive reports so far.

2.) Can I strip it down to a more lightweight tool?

3.) Which language to make the installer more portable?

The Java stack would offer a solution, but is heavy itself.
At least it is already installed on many machines.
Python? Ruby?
