[p4] Programming with PowerShell

[ilde.web at gmail.com]

I implemented all our scripts using Powershell y did it without P4.NET as I
thought it was overkill ... oh well big mistake, today if I had the time I
would recode everything to either Python or C# with P4.NET.  Anyhow, P4.NET
is the way to go with Powershell.
