Analysis center, .NET and LSA project

Today I was testing a new analysis center for Effektor and we ran into some issues with different DLL version numbers. I learned about the GAC which is a piece of .NET CLI that maintains various DLL's using strongly typed names. You can access the GAC through the normal filesystem in %windir%\Assembly but you will only see a shadow, since normal FAT32 does not support files with the same name. The GAC is able to used the strongly typed names to find the correct version of a DLL for a program, thus avoiding DLL HELL.

As promised I added the LSA project to my open bitbucket repos.
