Hopefully the new 5.36TEST1 release will help people catch any major
problems, and smooth the way for the upcoming "official dev release".

I build the 5.36TEST1 Windows binaries with MSVC++ 2010 Express and
the latest GTK and Python 2.7 stuff as described in
docs/win32-installer-zenmap-buildguide.txt.  It seems to run fine on
the Windows 7 system that I built it on, but I'm certainly hoping
people will try it out on other systems and report the results.

Cheers,
Fyodor
