Generate a win32 .exe for automatic patching #1

1) Make builder generate a .exe with gui that will ask for the ORI directory to be patched, incorporating the data in the executable, with integrity check, 2) Include a .nfo, image .png and .ico for the gui with a link to your site for donation :) 3) generate a dot(.)backup directory with a copy of the old files before patching (a revert back function :), 4) check if files are missing/wrong version before patching (and sha2?) 5) show a progressbar with time approximation. 6) It should be possible to extract the data from the .exe so it can be used on an incompatible system (ie linux/mac)

Do you think it could be possible without too mutch work ? Thanks
