- Added Multi-User configuration support, by doing the following:

- This new configuration file is in \Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Visual Automation\ColdKey\coldkey.xml
- Migration from the ini file to the xml file is automatic
- There is a new checkbox on the front tab, for saving the current settings as the default settings, for each user who has no configuration.
- The XML file is a hierarchy, with each user configuration a node. It can be opened with an XML editor, for viewing.
