New Beta Ready - 2.7.2.2 b4

Hi All,

A beta of 2.7.2.2 is ready for testing. Please download and test - your feedback is vital!

Why beta?

1. Major changes were made to the way packages are installed. Specifically to eliminate "all users" vs. "current user" troubles.
2. Testing was limited to a token few systems (WinXP SP3 & Win7 32bit).
3. The sheer amount of package updates.

Upgrading was not tested at all and may yield unpredictable results. Please uninstall any previous Python(x,y) installs before installing the beta. 

Changes:

Added

• ITK 3.20 (without the itkvtkglue feature which is not compatible with VTK 5.8.0)
• pyparsing 1.5.6 - upgraded from additional plugin status.
• pyfits 3.0.5 - Hidden under Veusz, upgraded to core plugin status.
• Veusz converted from an "other" plugin to a python plugin.
• pandas 0.7.0

Fixed

• All shell shortcuts have their working directory set to USERPROFILE.
• All file assosiactions, menu shorcuts and environment variables are created based on current context.
• The Python CHM is no longer unpacked.
•  Issue 379 : installing vitables should automatically add pyQT
•  Issue 374 : PyQt4-4.8.5_py27 user install bug
•  Issue 373 : installing python(x,y) breaks existing python install without warning
•  Issue 359 : Scripts exe's won't launch corresponding -script.py when installing python in custom dir
•  Issue 329 : Left click menu shortcuts for console are broken
•  Issue 292 : Python(x,y) 2.7.2.0 installs registry to HKCU instead of HKLM even if "for all users" is selected
