[AG-TECH] Node Services under windows

[Michael Braitmaier]

As far as I know, agpm.py can be used for SharedApplications and 
NodeServices as well. See the descriptiopn of usage of the agpm.py file:

    "By default this program registers/installs a shared application
    or node service with the users environment. Using the -u argument 
applications
    can be unregistered/uninstalled.  To unregister node services, use
    the '--unregister-service' argument."
