Title: Converted all projects to .NET 4.0

I'm pretty new to the project so I likely don't fully know all the implications of this, but I was able to get every single project in the solution compiling under .NET 4.0 relatively easily. There are quite a few improvements in 4.0 over 3.5 so unless there is a real reason why were stuck on 3.5 then I would request that we upgrade. 5.0 will be out before we know it so it would be good to not be behind when that happens.

I also did this in preparation for a UI port I'm hoping to work on. I wanted to convert the GitExtensions UI to WPF so that it could be easily ported to Windows 8 Metro. I think GetExtensions is already the De facto interface for Windows users using Git but I think if we brought the app into the future and gave it a more modern look then it could be that much better.
