Include setup and commands in the readme file #4

It would be nice if the readme included the necessary commands for beginners to execute the sample.

i.e. - how to get boost, how to build boost (./bootstrap.sh ; ./b2 --with-regex stage), how to let cmake find them (export BOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost_1_55_0, export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/rapidjson_repo), where to run cmake from (cd libjsonutils ; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..), etc

Yes, will add setup instructions for Linux at least, as I don't have access to a windows or mac. Normally you wouldn't want to build boost, but just install it using your package manager and let cmake find it for you. Same goes for rapidjson.
