Add an option to define executable name on Windows #234

Closed malys closed 9 years ago

Why? Always include a pull request description ;)

malys commented 9 years ago

By default, you consider that the executable on Windows is "compass.bat". However, It isn't always the case. This can be "compass.bat","compass.cmd" or "compass.exe" With this option, the developer can override the executable name.

an efficient title means a lot. Moreover, I'm not really a little Shakespeare. :).

"Why" is always more important than "what" ;)

Why isn't the bin extension consistent? Do you have any proof of this? If true I would prefer an automated solution.

If you install ruby + compass, you have to launch compass.bat. But on Windows, you can use a portable version of compass to embed ruby and compass in one exe file. See Portable Compass.

Consequently, the application setup is more simple and self-sufficient.

Ok, but I'd prefer to auto-detect it somehow. I don't want users to have to manually specify this. Can probably use https://github.com/isaacs/node-which for that.
