[Gvsig_english] gvSIG build 1212 "portable"

[Benjamin Ducke]

Hi Silvio,

the OA Digital edition of gvSIG available here:

oadigital.net

is fully self-contained on both Linux and Windows systems.
It already contains SEXTANTE.

You should be able to install it on a USB pendrive w/o problem.

The only exception is the "gvSIG" user folder, which gets stored
in your user home profile under Windows and $HOME under Linux.
But I don't think that should be a problem.
