Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oEnv = WshShell.Environment("Process")
oEnv("CLOJURE_DIR") = "C:\\Devtools\\clojure"
oEnv("CLOJURE_JAR") = "C:\\Devtools\\clojure\\clojure.jar"
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("javaw -cp %CLOJURE_JAR%;.\\classes;.\\src;.
clojure.main %1 -- %*")
Saving this as a .vbs file, and replacing %1 with the name of a gui
.clj file seems to work for me. I don't happen to have any Clojure gui
code laying around, so I just picked the temperature converter program
from the Clojure website (http://clojure.org/jvm_hosted). Closing the
window left the javaw process running, maybe because it doesn't listen
for the closing of the window.
