Hi!

I am done working on a new build system based on Vagrant, a tool to
prepare and manage development environments in virtual machines (using
VirtualBox). The result of that work can be seen in the
`feature/vagrant` branch.

Nearly quoting the proposed update to the build documentation:

> Tails can be built easily in a virtual machine using Rake, Vagrant and
> VirtualBox. The process requires a minimum of 1 GB of free memory and a
> maximum of 10 GB of free storage.
>
> Installing the needed tools on Debian Wheezy is a matter of:
>
>     $ sudo apt-get install virtualbox vagrant rake

>
> Then, please issue:
>
>     $ git clone git://git.immerda.ch/amnesia.git
>     $ cd amnesia
>     $ git checkout feature/vagrant
>     $ rake build

>
> The first time, this can take a little while to download the base virtual
> machine from Tails mirror (around 300 MB). It will then boot the machine,
> set it up and start the build process. When done, several `tails-*` files
> should appear in the current directory.


This simple `rake build` should have sane defaults for development:
in-memory builds if enough memory, gzip compression for SquashFS for
development branches, cached website builds, in-VM HTTP proxy. But all
that can be changed through the `TAILS_BUILD_OPTIONS` environment
variable. Please refer to the updated build documentation to know more
about it.

Please test, review and comment. English and interface neatpicking is
even encouraged!

I really hope this will help us to get new contributors as getting them
started should be quite easier with all that… Who knows, it might even
work on Windows !

Enjoy,
