Installer: First generalisation complete

[hmco]

The command-line based installer (say what you want on the command-line and then all is done for you, as much as possible) now works on RedHat (rhel6, fc14+ systems) and Debian (Ubuntu 11.10).

If you use this installer, you still have to answer the questions delivered by openssl to make the cert. Then you still have to copy the bundle to your publishing location. Apart from that it does, for recent RedHat or Debian based distros:

• software install
• software dependency install
• bundle creation
• database creation
• service definition
• service config
• service start
• service auto start config

The purpose is to make it easy for people to run a Notary.

I am happy to add more distro install support. Let me know what is needed.

Any bugs, let me know, will fix.

You are welcome to mail me directly at: hmco at env dot dtu dot dk.

An obvious improvement is to 'auto' detect the OS. Not so easy. Each does its own thing -- no consistency in place or parsing.

If anyone has a good plan for any improvement, please let me know, or just implement.
