Build a WIndows version #35

A command line tool for Windows would be useful like we have for other platforms

I can compile the existing client to run on Windows. Who do you see as the intended target audience to use this? Personally I think it would be more effective to put development time towards improving the gui.

This possibly depends on #30.

it would provide an easy way to submit data from a 3rd party application, minimizing the addtional code to be written. This is how I integrated acoustid by making use of the fpcalc.exe to analyse and submit fingerprints

I don't think it's a good idea to use the full submitter here - it probably makes too many assumptions about your setup. If you want to use it in the same way that you use fpcalc then you should directly use streaming_extractor_music and submit the data yourself. This will let you have more control over config files and where you store your processed files database. The submission process is simple - all you need to do is post json to a url. We discussed this here: https://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/musicbrainz-devel/2014/2014-10/2014-10-24.html#T10-26-39-366626

I'll leave this open so that we can continue discussing if a standalone windows cli is something we still want
