remind ubuntu users to enable permission for couchdb to use port 80 #26

by default port 80 is not allowed to be used by applications (at least on ubuntu 11.10 desktop edition, 64bit)

these commands need to be run to enable port 80 useage: replace with the ubuntu user name.

sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /home/<user>/build-couchdb/build/lib/erlang/erts-*/bin/beam
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /home/<user>/build-couchdb/build/lib/erlang/erts-*/bin/beam.smp

Thanks, this is a nice one. At least build-couchdb could print a message with some advice, or perhaps it could do it for you.
