Switching to Azure SDK 1.3

I've had "quite a few" issues switching to the new SDK for Azure.

Most of these have been in big solutions where projects seem intent on continuing to reference the old 1.0.0.0 StorageClient - hopefully that's now all done (just that little flag to change which stops them referencing "Specific Version")

One configuration change concerned diagnostics - Neil McKenzie's post helps with this http://convective.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/configuration-changes-to-windows-azure-diagnostics-in-azure-sdk-v1-3 - but really the easiest way to update your diagnostics is to use the "properties wizard" for each role within the Azure cloud project in your solution.

Overall I quite like most of the 1.3 changes - the problems I've hit as a result haven't been fun, but I understand why the changes are needed... Forwards!
