Description
As some Windows user might not have any console tools installed I would like to see platformio distributed as some self-contained archive/exe file for Windows users. It should contain python distribution and some nice colorful command line + GUI (which is in the works). This should be done side-by-side to existing pip installation or even on top of it.
Please let me know what you think

Done means a defined, supportable distribution approach that includes Python and the requested command-line experience.
