[Catalyst] Self restarting test server for Win32!

[Kiefer, Sascha]

It's really not a easy one.
I suggest to seperate to rewrite the HTTPServer by seperating the work in to
scripts.
One that runs the server, the other one that checks:
1. the server is still runing; if not, restart it
2. checks whether or not the files have changed
