Doesn't work on Windows

In the latest release notes you mention that it should work on Windows. However, after pip installing it i get the following errors:

In [2]: binwalk.scan(r"C:\Windows\System32\Calc.exe", signatures=True)

General Error: Cannot open file : [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '--signatures'

Actually the PR by @akx makes this work out of the box on Windows 10. You just have to clone his branch (git clone -b packaging-fixes https://github.com/akx/binwalk.git) and run pip install . in the newly-created folder. Then binwalk can be run either by typing binwalk in the command like (if the Python installation’s Scripts folder is added to %PATH%) or by typing python3 -m binwalk

@Bamgm14 Can you write a tutorial on how you got it working on windows 10? Would be great. Thanks.
