Unofficial DVM Windows Beta

Some notes:

Calling dvm regardless of arguments always prints out this string at
the bottom after any info before it:
"The system cannot find the file specified."

Calling with -h or --help doesn't print out anything.
Calling dvm install or dvm fetch or dvm use without arguments throws
an out of bounds exception.

It might be useful to document where dvm installs DMD to (in appdata).
Also, I'm thinking about any problems vista/win7 users might have with
UAC, e.g. if UAC will attempt to block writing to the appdata folder.
I'm just second-guessing though, I'm not too familiar with how it
works.

If I run:
> dvm --default use 2.052
and close and start a new command shell, 2.053 will still be used.
What exactly is the use case for "dvm --default use"?

I didn't really know how to use dvm install without looking at the
linux dvm page. I attempted to just run 'dvm install' after installing
dvm, but it threw an out of bounds exception. Maybe the app should
instead print out: "install needs an argument like 'dvm install
2.053'". The same goes for other commands.

Other than that, it seems to work my system. Nice work!
