#1 add a setup or installation script

[Anonymous]

To be more user friendly PySnapshot should ship with an "installation" or "setup" script. The main purpose of this script would be to assist users with populating the configuration file and making sure that the necessary environmental conditions were met (e.g., a directory to store snapshots exists with appropriate permissions). Some users may be intimidated by the text configuration; others might delete a necessary , or ' by accident, causing an uncaught exception at runtime. In either case, manually editing the config file is more error prone than having a setup script prompt the user for, and populate, the necessary values. The setup script should make a backup of any existing config files (by renaming them) before it creates a new one.
