[QtonPi] Bakeqtpi.bash script

Hi all,

I've pushed some fairly minor changes to the script, along with accepting a merge request. It now uses the september image of Raspbian by default, and doesn't try to build qtjsondb (until I figure out why it's not getting checked out/cloned).

I've not enabled webkit yet, as I think there's some work to be done first.

I've been experimenting with different build environments. I started two VMs, both with 2 cores, 2GB RAM, and 20GB disk, one in VMWare Fusion on OSX 10.8, one in VMWare Workstation on Windows 7 64bit.

The VMWare Fusion build failed as many of you described, with the VM running out of memory, the VMWare Workstation build succeeded.

I'm testing the build in VirtualBox now on OSX in an attempt to ascertain whether it's OSX, or VMWare Fusion that's causing issues.

If it's VMWare, then the solution will have to be "Use Virtualbox" until someone better than I digs in to figure out what's killing VMWare Fusion specifically. If it's OSX, then I'm not entirely sure what to do, as debugging virtualisation is a bit beyond me.

All this has been on Ubuntu server 12.04.1, fully up to date, with the only command executed before getting and running the script being:

	sudo apt-get install build-essential git ia32-libs ctorrent unzip

I'll test some other OSs later (can anyone suggest any? I was going to try CentOS first).

/Kieran
