[QtonPi] Bakeqtpi.bash script

[Kieran Evans]

I have VMware fusion installed now, so I'll try moving my environment to a VM. That'll also give me a chance to test out on other OSs (currently, it's only been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit).

I had been doing all my development on a physical Ubuntu install on my pc which has 8gig ram. I'll shift that to my MacBook which only has 4 ( and thus, even less for the Vm so I can recreate the problem).
