Notice for PSPP users on MSWindows

Hi all

There was an issue with PSPP which might occupy a lot of space on
MSWindows installations. The problem only occurs on MSWindows when
processing large files with PSPP.

The issue:
- In all MSWindows package builds from before june 2011, PSPP might
place temporary files on the root of the drive but didn't remove them.
The directory is called "pspp<something random>". After closing PSPP
these directories can be removed.
- In the MSWindows package builds from june 2011, PSPP might place
temporary files in the %TEMP% directory but didn't remove them. The
directory is called "pspp<something random>". The clean disk functions
of MSWindows takes care of this, but you might also remove this
directory yourself.
- Starting with the MSWindows package builds form juli 2011, PSPP
might place temporary files in the temporary directory which MSWindows
points it to. PSPP removes the files when ending.

Have fun
