This release introduces experimental support for C / .NET, provided by
Jan Hrbáček. Bug reports and patches are greatly appreciated.

This release also introduces a small python API change, and renames a program
in windows.

Additional bugfixes are included.

- Windows
- Now builds lcm-gen.exe, not lcmgen.exe
- .NET
- The lcm-dotnet/ directory contains a publish-subscribe library for
.NET applications.
- lcm-gen
- (C) A new set of options are available for generating C bindings
- (Python) change `__init__.py` import statements. If a package named 'proj'
contains the LCM type msg_t, then the `__init__.py` file now contains:

from msg_t import msg_t

and the recommended usage pattern is:

import proj
instance = proj.msg_t()

see googlecode issue 21
