Fixing crash on Startup

After a HUGE amount of searching on the internet, I was able to find some information that indicated that the crash was caused by a resources issue.  Apparently there was a slight change in the way the Neutral Language is handled.  This is due to the [assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("en" UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.Something)] property in AssemblyInfo.  This causes some failure in WP8.  Removing the fallback location resolves the problem.
Adding in packages.config which should allow NuGet package restore to work properly.
Added a .gitignore for common files that we don't want checked in.
