[imp] Prerequisites for horde and imp head

[david@abbishaw.com]

I agree,  but many people can't use Linux to host such applications,
for many reasons,  one of which because theve not used it in anger,  and 
they dont want to work at it for 2 months to get imp working.

So a full blown install, (maybe even a customised redhat(or simular) iso 
image that does everything for them) would be a great bonus to imp.

Also a working windows version would increase its popularity.

============================================================================

Einstein never accepted quantum mechanics because of this element of chance 
and uncertainty. 

He said: God does not play dice. It seems that Einstein was doubly wrong.

The quantum effects of black holes suggests that not only does God play 
dice, He sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen. - Steven Hawking
