PAConsole serialization

Starting from gLitePROOF 2.0.5.1858 PAConsole supports serialization.
What does it mean for the users?
Exactly the following. Now PAConsole "remembers" all basic settings and next time user starts PAConsole, it will load previously saved settings. Main advantage is that users finally are able to monitor the last submitted job even after they restart PAConsole.

New release of the stable gLitePROOF planned for 15.06.2008.
