malware plugins not installed with 2.1 alpha

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Checkout volatility-read-only
2. sudo python setup.py install
3. vol.py -h

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see malware plugins, such as 'malfind'
Do not see these plugins

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.1 alpha on Ubuntu 10.04LTS

Please provide any additional information below.
I copied the malware directory from the source to 
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/volatility/plugins and the malware 
plugins I've tried so far seem to work. grep'd the source directory for 
'malware' and noticed in vol.py it seems to state malware plugins aren't 
installed if yara isn't found. There doesn't seem to be a clear warning about 
that in the output of setup.py.

Hmm all you should need to do is this:

$ svn checkout http://volatility.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ volatility-read-only
$ cd volatility-read-only
$ python vol.py -h

I'll assume this works for you now and close the issue. Feel free to re-open if 
there's still a problem.
