[Jprogramming] jqt command line

[bill lam]

I don't use jqt.cmd so that I can answer if it needs another
version.  since jqt.cmd set up environment, so that fork_jtask
can inherent that enviornment.

I use the windows AIO installer, then there is no jqt.cmd, 
clicking on jqt.exe launch directly. And I guess
the cmdline parameters should agree with the documentation.

IMO AIO installer is more suitable for idiotic windows users 
like myself. ymmv.
