[Rivet] [Professor] RivetProfessor Virtual Machine

[Andy Buckley]

Great :)  Torbjorn also made the good point that the README needs to 
contain some very explicit step by step installation instructions for 
use with VirtualBox.

I think the issue of keyboard layout setting should also be mentioned in 
the README -- the VM's next major outing will be at an MC school in 
Japan ;) IMO we should also name the next VM image something like 
MCnetVM-1.1 -- the usage interest is wider than Rivet and Professor 
since it contains several "new" generator codes, and we need to make it 
obvious from the downloads list that it is a VM! Otherwise we'll get 
people thinking that it is an 800MB Rivet+Professor tarball!

Cheers,
Andy
