[Shotwell] Shotwell 0.4.1 (Windows 7) does not start

[Adam Dingle]

Given that the Windows installer is broken as described previously in this
thread, I've removed all references to the Windows build from the Yorba Web
site for now.  The installer is still available at the following URL for
those who want to follow the instructions I posted earlier to make it work:

http://yorba.org/download/shotwell/0.4/setup-0.4.1.exe

We'll fix the bug and release a working Windows installer in the next week
or two.
