Creating live USB keys in Windows

Hi!

So, I wrote some code that will install a Fedora Live ISO onto a USB
stick, in Windows.

It automatically detects all removable drives, finds your ISO, extracts
it to your USB key, tweaks the syslinux.cfg, and installs the
bootloader.

From a user perspective, using it is pretty simple:
- download fedora
- download and extract livecd-iso-to-usb.zip
- drag fedora iso into directory
- double click 'livecd-iso-to-usb.exe'
- ...profit!

It has worked great during all of my testing, and Jesse seemed to have
good luck with it today, but we definitely need more people to try it
out before we can start recommending it to users.
