[GNC] GC v4.1 on Windows and v3.1 on Ubuntu

[Adrien Monteleone]

If you accepted the default, then you aren't using a database. The 
default is XML for all platforms.

But I don't think it would be wise to run two different major versions 
to access the same file.

There is a possibility you could use 4.1 and 3.11 (the last 3.x release) 
but you'd have to get a developer to verify.

Adrien
