[tomboy-list] Windows status, binaries

Hi,

Quick update, I just changed the note directory path in tomboy-portable2
(Windows) from LocalApplicationData to ApplicationData.

Just type %localappdata% and %appdata% into a Run prompt or explorer
window to get the corresponding paths, and move your tomboy directory
over.  If you ran an older version of the code, your old tomboy
directory is called .tomboy instead. Hell, if you ever ran the old 0.3.x
Windows port, there's a good chance that note directory should work,
too.  ;-)

I made a zip of my binaries if people just want to mess around.  Here
are the instructions:

1. Agree that you won't get mad if you have crashes or data loss (but
hey, it works for me on XP and Vista with .NET 2.0 installed).
2. Install the GTK# runtime or SDK installer [1] [2] and restart.  SDK
will be helpful if you want to build the code yourself, ever.
3. Download my binaries [3]
4. Extract, double-click Tomboy.exe.  It would be most helpful if you
ran it from a command prompt so you can report errors that don't show up
in the log.

Feel free to reply with any problems you have.  It may be a couple of
weeks before I work on this again because I'll be out of town for the
next two weekends, but trust me your issues will not be ignored.  :-)

Oh, and by the way, the Visual Studio solution seems to work fine in
SharpDevelop 3.0.

Best,
Sandy
