I thought I'd have a go at a PowerShell version of 99 Bottles of Beer, to make something slightly nicer for 99-bottles-of-beer.net.

Slightly lazy code-golf-esque approach, but I think it's a little nicer than the version currently up for PowerShell.

I also wrote Pester testing for it, for the heck of it, as I've been feeling bad about how badly I wrote some tests for a recent technical evaluation. Sigh.
