Conduit now supports CSDb

Some time ago I built this pipeline that allows the watching of demos with a single click:

https://github.com/Gargaj/Conduit

Basically you install two things: a native app and a browser plugin, then a link pops up on the Pouet/Demozoo page, you click it, and then the native app downloads / unpacks the demo and launches it.

This weekend (thx Perff!) I added support for CSDb as well, so if you want software that neatly organizes your d64s and don't mind occasionally using an emulator, take a look :)

I don't understand what this does... Can't you just tell the browser to open d64s with VICE (or whatever)? *shrug*

Couple of things:
- Obviously this isn't geared towards C64 only, it's meant to be a general purpose tool for multiple platforms.
- It uses the provided prod metadata (group name, release year) to file the files in an organized manner (i.e. "Demos/Oxyron/" or "Demos/Oxyron/2007/", however you set it up)
- If the download is a ZIP, it unpacks it for you and asks which D64 to launch.

So how am i supposed to install this in Linux? The Chrome plugin seems to work OK, but the install .exe doesn't appear to do what it should do (after running it in WINE - perhaps i can use it in IE in WINE now? =D)

I'm not familiar about how it'd work in Unix, obviously it'll need Mono to run, and Poro did a patch where it registers the "conduit://" url scheme via XDG (https://github.com/Gargaj/Conduit/blob/master/Source/Program.cs..), so if you build and run the app once via Mono, it should register it and then from then on the links created by the browser plugin should work as well.
