(so: you'd have to do something like
        #> pgfdatabase.exe my_pgf_blob
)

Just a double-click on the executable will execute it, so windows opens a 
console, the program will show a short message on that console and shut down,
windows closes the (now unneeded) console window;  which you see as a window 
flashing briefly.

To extract (all!) the pgf images from the database you need to use another 
program (e.g. the export_thumbnails.sh shell script for linux)
