Summary: Bad failures due to WinXP Home limitations

Initial Comment:
OpenSTA will install and basically work on Windows XP
Home - however there are limitations to the toolsets
functionality.

This bug is not really to fix the limitations (although
if it is possible then it will be done), instead it is
to make sure that the XP Home limitations are clearly
documented and that the OpenSTA tools will fail
cleanly, or not allow at all, the limited features.

The limitations we know of now are:
- distributed testing does not work.
- NT Perfromance Monitor Collectors require
installation of an optional component.
- Possible that certain XP users cannot run Modeler,
etc. (previously reported but deleted bug).

The is also an FAQ page that deals with these limitations:
http://portal.OpenSTA.org/faq.php?topic=WinXpHomeLimitations

If you know of any other limitations please add them
here or to the FAQ.
