…n Windows. * Add support for Windows-specific utilities for detecting if ffmpeg is installed etc. * Adapted bottle file serving to support windows paths by providing a folderpath and filename. * Removed filtering of FileChooserDialog - this does not seem to work on Windows * Better handling of temporary files: use tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile instead of tempfile.mkstemp * Update README.md with instructions on setting up MSYS2 and PyGObject to run on Windows - along with other environment setup needed.

Hello!
I closed my previous PR #80 for Windows support and added another one, since the previous one was quite old and outdated in relation to the master branch.
In the mean-time I have found another way of runing GTK and PyGObject on Windows and that is through MSYS2. I wrote an extensive guide on that in README.md under "Running on Windows"
I can still see some issues in that for the videos I tested with, there are some left-over temporary files - two are created instead of one, when transcoding occurs. I don't know whether this is a general issue or it occurs only because of my changes - maybe you can check and confirm.
By the way, if you don't have a Windows machine available, check out the following link for getting a Win 10 dev VM available in different formats, which would allow testing my code:
