[Qgis-developer] New QGIS 0.11.0 Metis Windows Pre-Release Test Installer

[Marco Pasetti]

Hi all,

thanks to Jurgen I finally solved the mistery of the missing python plugins.
I built a new pre-release test installer of Metis. Please test it, specially 
the GPS importer that I cannot test by myself.
