[QtonPi] Bakeqtpi.bash script

...except that my version of 12.04 is also 32-bit. I burned the disc for
the old PC I have but used it for the Mac virtual machine fresh install.
will look at 64-bit if necessary.

The script has failed a couple of times so far, but I've been able to
move to the next step by installing git-core and build-essential
(wouldn't accept gcc-c++ like centos does).

...still in progress.
