It's been a long time since I did batch programming... I don't recall if 
batch files support iteration (for loops).  You can use a scripting 
langauge like Perl or Python or Ruby to do this, or install something 
like CygWin to use shell scripting like bash or ksh that do let you 
interate over everything in a directory using a wildcard.
