Ah, if you meant developer/deken, it's available only as a bash script.  
It's theoretically possible in windows, but it requires installing  
advanced features, which the "normal user" won't be able to do (it would  
be easier for them to learn how to use deken inside Pd).
But nevertheless I'll see if there's any way of also packaging an  
executable that allows to run that script.
