A binary installer of GNUmed 0.2 is available for testing. Hassle free 
installation. Double click the exe and there you go. Pre configured to either 
work off a local postgres or off the internet database.

Perfomance is sluggish when working off the internet database but quite good 
when using a local database

I started to port the bootstraping process to Windows. I need help with some 
issues but overall it looks pretty good since most of the logic is inside the 
python bootstrap script. 

Here is what I need to make the installer and bootsrap script more user 
friendly.

1.)     figure out the python location and patch some batch scripts during 
installation. Ideally this should be done without any dependcies. Windows 
commands only.

2.) figure out postgresql's location in windows and add it to the PATH 
variable
