Add more documentation #1

So I get the general idea as to how fervor works and I really like it. But even with the sample application I'm still now quite sure how it works? Do I just create an entirely new binary and fervor will take care of the installing and diffing and everything for me? Could you provide some more details in the form of more documentation? Maybe write a wiki article walking through how to take an existing qt application and start using fervor with it.

tl;dr I love this idea! Can you tell me more?

Thanks, I've updated README.mdown to include a more detailed description and an usage example. See https://github.com/pypt/fervor

As per my README, At the moment, Fervor is not as cool as Sparkle -- it is not able to install the actual update automatically (the user is given an option to download and install the update manually). Pull requests with unattended install modules for .dmg, .pkg (Mac OS X), .msi (Windows), .rpm, .deb (Linux) are welcome!

If something else is still unclear, please let me know.
