Now, bootstrapping is as easy as:
```
$ bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kirbyfan64/nimboot/master/nimboot)
```

Brilliant! I really wanted to see something like this. Any chance of seeing a .bat version?

@dom96 I guess. It seemed kind of useless, considering msys-git has a UNIX shell...

But I'll definitely try that. Batch+PowerShell (for downloading the script) == craziness. :)

Any reason you clone the repositories to depth 10?

@def Cloning the whole thing takes forever. Maybe I should leave that, though...

I just figured that most casual users don't need the whole commit history, and it's easy enough to get the rest manually.

I meant instead of depth 1, especially for csources.

@def Oh...that does seem to make sense. I think I'll change that!
