Linux Runner

I've been working on a Linux version of ADRIFT 5 Runner, which runs using the Mono Framework. This has required a few tweaks around Window-isms and stripping out the third party libraries, but it is looking quite promising so far, and I don't anticipate any major problems.

All being well I will be releasing this shortly after the next Windows release.

5.0.17 is now available for download from the ADRIFT website. There are quite a few enhancements in this release, many of which are revolved around beefing up the flexibility of task actions. The list of changes is as follows:
