An all-in-one installer for AustESE

There is now an installer for the AustESE publishing system. I am painfully aware of the missing bits: as listed in the readme, but I prefer to focus on the positives. You can run the installer for Ubuntu and you get something that can manage the creation of a digital scholarly edition. And what it addresses are the perennial problems of interoperability and overlap. This is a general system that does everything that users asked for, not what I think it should be. It's what we have all been working on for 18 months, and we will keep improving it until it is finished and perfected. Check it out and see if you can get it going, and tell me what you think. I'm listening.
