Bug Description
Currently exaile.bat checks for GStreamer etc. by calling "python -c ..." for each dependency. This is very slow. My plan:
* Create exaile_win.py, which does all the GStreamer etc. checks and runs exaile.main().
* In exaile.bat, only check for Python, then run exaile_win.py.
I have near-finished code that does this; just needs polish. In addition to being much faster, it also reduces the amount of our code written in the awful Batch language.
I'm also thinking to replace the Batch file with a Windows Script file (WSH/WSF), but I don't know the availability of the interpreter in various Windows versions.
