Had a conversation with GordCaswell on IRC #portableapps.  GordCaswell
is a PortableApps.com developer.  They are very much interested in
helping us make OpenLP portable.

After the conversation in their channel, I made another change to the
directory/file layout.  Had to change the name of our settings ini file

RM Drive:
     OpenLPPortable/
          Data/
              Settings/
                   OpenLP..ini  (New name)
              (OpenLP Data directories)
          App
               OpenLP/
                    (Executables)
               Appinfo/
                    Icons....
                    Appinfo.ini (Modified by us to update version info)
                    Launcher/
                         OpenLPPortable.ini (Which we copy when doing a build)
     OpenLPPortable.exe (start-up program generated by PortableApps.com launcher)

There are other Misc directories/files created by the portable apps
programs during launching/execution.

Title:
  make openlp portable

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Openlp should be able to run as a 'portable app, off a USB flash drive
  without the need to install it.

  However, for know there are technical limits in pyinstaller which
  prevents this feature to work properly.

  App created by Pyinstaller fails to run from a directory containing
  non ASCII characters.

  For next major release (version 1.6) it is planned to fix this.

  Until this is bug of pyinstaller is fixed, I think it is not worth to
  implement this feature.
