It will be limited to those who have calibre installed anyway (even if they don't use it as a library) because it relies heavily on your container functions for safely manipulating epub/azw3 and also calibre's included Python functionality for those who don't have their own full Python installation (the majority of Windows users). No point in me trying to re-invent the wheel and doing it badly.
I'm currently using your calibre-debug -e option with a single Python script plus a Windows .bat file to drag-drop the ebook onto.
Should the MR powers-that-be decide it's OK to pursue this project at all I'm hoping some of the posters who've taken an interest in this thread will help debate the pros and cons of drag-drop vs proper calibre plugin. I'll be happy to do the plugin-isation if that's the better option, but there's no real point having the debate right now.
