Can I make C::B portable?

Proof of concept:

Compiling Code::Blocks svn sources (located on drive D:) with Code::Blocks revision 3222 and MinGW 3.4.5, both located on a USB stick (drive G:), using preferences stored on the same USB stick.

bigbug:
If you have a MinGW installation (e.g. in C:\MinGW), did you try renaming the folder? I tried and if I don't rename it, Code::Blocks automagically uses the compiler from my local MinGW but if I rename it, Code::Blocks says:
Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe ...' failed.

Edit:
Looking at your "File Monitor" screenshot, it seems Code::Blocks opens "G:\CodeBlocks\mingw32-g++.exe". Since your Code::Blocks executable is located at "G:\CodeBlocks\codeblocks.exe" and your compiler directory is "$(codeblocks)\..\mingw", shouldn't it open "G:\mingw\bin\mingw32-g++.exe"?

thomas:
If it fails for you, it may depend on the path, as the compiler plugin works on that. Mandrav is looking into it right now.
Probably a one-liner :)

An one-liner it was, bug fixed.
