MacOSX and Windows support

Note for Windows users:

Windows usage is supported with some limitations:

• No colored output.
  • Currently I have no idea on how to fix this.
• Some UTF-8 symbols used in output are only with some fonts like DejaVu Sans Mono.
  • In future, I will try to implement a version of script that do not request UTF-8 support to return results.
