Mmm, I feel more like an overlord, not a god. *blushes*

Attached is a patch which:

 - adds a configuration item to the "Preferences" dialog where you can
   select the base directory for software from farms,
 - changes every (as far as I and grep know) code, which assumes the hard-
   coded path, to work with the configurable one,
 - apparently fixes a bug when an "example"-tagged project is downloaded
   or installed whose vendor is not "example" and there is no "example"
   vendor directory already. (I'll write another mail about that soon.)

It applies to #6997 under app/src/gambas3/. I tested it a few times but
there is no warranty.

Regards,
Tobi
