This is an experimental PowerShell port of the boot2docker management script. This is based on the original boot2docker shell script with some extra features like automatic formating of the virtual hard disk on initialization. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This tool downloads the boot2docker ISO image, creates a VirtualBox virtual machine, sets up two networks for the virtual machine (one NAT to allow the VM and containers to access the internet, the other host-only to allow container port mapping to work securely), and then provides the user a simple way to login via SSH.
The tool uses putty and plink and downloads them automatically.
The files for the VM, putty, plink and boot2docker ISO can be found in your $HOME\.dockervm directory (e.g. C:\Users\<YourName>\.dockervm).
Copy directory Docker to your $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules directory (e.g. C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\WindowsPowershell\Modules).
You may also need to set the script execution policy to RemoteSigned (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176961.aspx). This can be done by running PowerShell as Administrator and executing Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned.
Following commands are provided (some of them might be renamed later):

The config variables are in the Docker\Docker.psm1 file. VM ports, disk size and memory size can be configured.
