[tomboy-list] Export All Notes to HTML

[Pedro]

In theory you wouldn't need to migrate to C# in order to wrap it into
an addin. However I find it rather confusing to use assemblies in
multiple languages.

This looks cool.
Could you host the script somewhere one can download it? Sending it by
email breaks indentation and therefore code integrity.
