[Rwp] OSARA installer

[James Teh]

Installing to a portable REAPER would really just be a matter of 
installing to a different directory, since this installer installs to 
appdata, not Program Files. However, I was worried that including the 
directory screen would confuse people or that people would change it and 
wonder why it didn't work. The way to get around that would be to have a 
screen where you choose portable or install. If you're able to 
contribute that, I could include it.
