[QtonPi] Bakeqtpi.bash script

[mark at noakes.com]

I have just completed a successful automated bakeqtpi.bash script-based 
build on a MacBookPro-based OSX (10.6.8) Virtual Box 4.2.1 r80871 
running Ubuntu 12.04.1 Server 64-bit using your machine specifications 
and guide below starting with a fresh install, update, execute the below 
install command, and then run the script. I didn't have to fix or rerun 
anything. It just worked.

About halfway through the successful build I realized that I was running 
the older script instead of your latest version. I'll need to check as 
to what the advantages are between the two and may rerun.

This was my second attempt. On the first try I neglected to select two 
cores in the cpu (but everything else was the same), and the virtual 
machine crashed, aborted, and blew away completely about 1/3 of the way 
through the build.

Now ALL I need to do is review where everything is located and figure 
out how it all works, BUT this is a major breakthrough. I'm tempted to 
try again manually so I have a better picture in my head as to where 
everything goes.

I may try a few variant configurations and report back on them as time 
permits.

I'd also like to get this going on my linux box, but it is 32-bit 
hardware running CentOS 6.3.

THANK YOU MUCH FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS,

Mark
