[scribus] portable Scribus

[GianLuca Sarto]

ok, I did it - no luck though.

If I enter scribus.exe (in Program\Scribus) nothing happens, if I enter 
scribus.exe --console a black window opens in a flash and disappears.

I know it's a Window problem, but on the other side of the coin there's 
Scribus....
