Updated windows binaries available for testing

[Ankit Jain]

I've uploaded a new set of windows binaries for testing.

New changes:
- a --quiet option to start giver in "hidden" mode
- Timestamp of original file is retained on the receiving side
- Sending folders is enabled
- A crash on exit, has been fixed now
- User specified ports are supported now, see Preferences.
Restart of giver would be required after the change. I'm
not sure whether it should automatically start listening on the
new port. Comments?

Also, for those looking for build giver on windows, VS2005 (msbuild)
project files have been added, so you can build it easily :)

I have another important fix to do, after which we can do a release :)

Please give feedback on whether this works fine for you or not.
The binaries are reference gtk-sharp 2.12.x, so it might be a problem
for people with older versions. 2.12 is what i had installed. Maybe
i'll install and compile against an older version for the release.

In case of any problems, try looking at the .giver.log file in the user's
"My Documents" folder.

Ankit, at this point I would strongly recommend that you require
gtk-sharp 2.12.8 or better, from Novell. Not only are there many fixes,
but once we have an installer, there will be a bunch of difficulties if
we try to allow earlier versions.

Looking forward to testing this all out,
Sandy
