Make processing portable!

Guys, you make a great stuff!

And processing actually works portable with some restrictions - it stores absolute folder name for its sketches
- it stores preferences in local absolute folder

with current flash drives capacity it is not difficult to carry processing with all samples/sketches with me on a flash drive! And ofc, run it directly from flash drive.

So, with minor changes you can make processing more attractable for people.

look at lib/preferences.txt, the default preferences file. this is one instance where you *do* want to edit that file, which should give you a way to run from a flash drive (by specifying a relative sketchbook location, etc).

Aha! So it is actually portable, I only need to tune it a little. Very nice!

Thanks for the tip!
