After playing with XAMPP a bit more, I figured it would be handy to have an easy way to get a link to the XAMPP Control Panel to appear in the PortableApps Menu. So, I've posted a XAMPP Launcher. It's a simple package (in PortableApps Format so you can automatically add it) that just links to XAMPP's control panel when you have your typical setup (both PortableApps and xampp directories in your root directory).
Please give it a try. If people like it, I'll add it to the main XAMPP page.
