BCLite: Ultra-minimal Windows Command Line Screenshots

I was happy with my screenshot script, but a disappointed in the size of boxcutter. Nothing against the little app, it does a good job for what its meant to do. I just needed to strip it down a bit.

The basic functionality that I require is to save a screenshot to a named file, so I removed all the code for option handling, copy to clipboard, and manual selection of snapshot area. I also removed all of the Windows form code and calls. The original version would pop up a window for a split second, but that was just too long for me. Finally, I stripped out all the console interaction code, including error messages. BCLite will exit with either a 0 (worked) or a 1 (failed).

I'll be creating a Trac instance to manage a SVN repository for code on this site in the near future. In the mean time, you can get BCLite directly.
