Bug Description
You can add firewall exceptions using the netsh command. If we did this as part of the installation process, then the user would not see the windows firewall warning when first running syncdaemon.

For XP, the following will work:
netsh firewall add allowedprogram "C:\Prorgram Files\ubuntuone
For Vista and beyond we need something like the following, since the above is deprecated:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Ubuntu One" dir=in action=allow program="C:\Program Files (x86)\ubuntuone
