pactester implemented using pacparser

[manu]

Lately, I have been getting some queries for "test pac files on
windows", "pactester for windows" etc in website access logs and
emails. Compiling pactester on Windows, though possible, is quite a
complicated process. So much so that it's almost impractical to ask
users to do so. Since it's a perl script, packaging it for Windows is
even more difficult. To avoid packaging difficulties of perl code and
now that pacparser is there, I think it makes sense to implement
pactester using pacparser. That's exactly what I did in last couple of
days -- implemented pactester in C using pacparser library.

Here is the implementation:
http://code.google.com/p/pacparser/source/browse/trunk/pactester.c

I have compiled it for Windows and uploaded zipped binaries on
pactester downloads page:
http://code.google.com/p/pactester/downloads/list

Also to simplify things and as an added bonus to pacparser users, I
have decided to distribute this version of pactester (implemented in C
using pacparser API) along with pacparser from next release. Thanks to
open source that I can do that :)

Cheers,
Manu
