Command Line GLTF <=> GLB Packer/Unpacker

The idea of this tool is to provide a Windows command line tool to Pack GLTF files to GLB and to Unpack GLB file to GLTF.

This need is base on the glTF-Shell-Extensions tool from Gary Hsu (https://github.com/bghgary/glTF-Shell-Extensions)

The original tool is a shell extension with a GUI. I just made some quick and dirty modification to call the tool on the command line.

The syntax is the following:

Packing

gltf.exe Pack name_of_the_gltf_file

Unpacking

gltf.exe Unpack name_of_the_glb_file folder_to_output_the_resulting_gltf_file_into

Release

You can find a release with the .exe and its dll in the Release section Releases.

Changes

The file that has been changed are UnpackWindow.xaml.cs, PackWindow.xaml.cd and App.xaml.cs

The changes are quick and dirty, a proper rewrite, that would remove all the GUI stuff could be a good thing in the future.
