Automate Tesseract 3.02 language data pack generation process.

@author: Quan Nguyen
@date: 16 April 2013

The script file should be placed in the same directory as Tesseract's binary executables.
All training data files must be prefixed with the language code -- such as: 
vie.arial.exp0.tif, vie.font_properties, vie.unicharambigs, vie.frequent_words_list, vie.words_list
-- and placed in a trainfolder directory, which could be placed directly under Tesseract directory.

Run PowerShell as Administrator and allow script execution by running the following command:

PS > Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Then execute the script by:

PS > .\train.ps1
or
PS > .\train.ps1 yourlang trainfolder
