[ptx] Autopano-sift windows script file

[Ian Sydenham]

I have created a windows script file that gives Windows users  a 
script to mimic the run-autopano-sift.sh script for Linux - ie 
automate the generation of autopano-sift keys then call autopano to 
create a hugin pto file.
The script has only been tested on one PC (mine - Windows 2000) and is 
offered without any real knowledge (but some expectation) that it will 
work elsewhere. I'm a novice at scripting so if you have success using 
it (or otherwise), or can improve the script then Let me know via this 
mailing list.

The file uses Windows Visual Basic script language which should be 
installed on all windows PCs. The latest version can be downloaded 
from the Microsoft download site.

Installation:
Download the script from 
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~rq4b-sydn/Panorama/win-autopano-sift.zip
Unzip the file and copy the file run-autopano-sift.vbs into the same 
directory as the Autopano-sift executable files autopano.exe and 
generatekeys.exe. To simplify using it create a shortcut on your 
desktop to the file.

Usage:
Select the panorama component image files from an explorer window, 
then drag and drop them onto either the desktop shortcut, or onto the 
actual script file (in another explorer window).
The script is intended to be used in a drag-and-drop mode so there is 
no facility to set parameters from the command line. Message boxes are 
used to change or accept the default options from within the script.
To view the default parameters, or for general usage info, just 
(double) click on the desktop icon.
