Description
Is there any appetite for a geos-config for Windows? I've mocked together a geos-config.bat file that mimics the Unix shell-based version.
Note that a MSVC CMake build will generate a geos-config file. A proposed solution would write a geos-config.bat file instead.
One consideration is that some extra flags many be needed for Windows back-slash shenanigans, for instance python setup.py build_ext -IC:\\deps\\geos\\include ... is needed, therefore perhaps add a --escape-backslash flag.
I can prepare a PR. Any thoughts before I get carried away?

While technically feasible, this idea may not be the best for a long term strategy.

I guess my only concern is if the geos-config.bat will require extra baby-sitting. E.g. we got rid of all the VC / nmake stuff a while ago for that reason.
