investigate ip route add, ip route del.
assuming windows box is on the same LAN as your pi's eth0, you should be
able to just change the default route to use the 4G interface.

I think you can just do this manually for now, on the assumption that the
eth0 will be gone when it comes time to deploy and it will "just work."
