Getting Started pages updated

[Matthew Scott]

In preparation for the Schevo 3.0 release, I've updated the getting
started pages:

http://schevo.org/wiki/SchevoGettingStartedWindows
http://schevo.org/wiki/SchevoGettingStartedUbuntu
http://schevo.org/wiki/SchevoGettingStartedMacOsx

Oops!

I should have noted that any testing that others can do against these
instructions will be rewarded with great appreciation.

Even more for those who post their successes, or their failure
details, to the list... :-)

Thanks everyone!

The getting started windows seemed to work fine, but not being a
developer, I don't know the sections "Download workingenv and set up
an environment for Schevo" and "Activate the Schevo environment" are
really all about.

Consequently, as I work through the Movie Review tutorial, I'm not
positive which steps are done in the Schevo environment, or whether
it matters. E.g., It says "At a shell prompt, change to a
directory ...." which I think means what it says -- at a shell prompt,
not in the Schevo environment. But it also works to do it in the
Schevo environment. A few lines down, it says "Install it [the
moviereviews directory] into your Python environment in development
mode." I think this means to run c:\env\schevo\bin\activate.bat in
the moviereviews directory.

But then there seems to be nothing else in the tutorial that's done in
the Schevo environment. Perhaps a link to something that gives more
information about a development environment would help us novices
understand whether this is something we need concern ourselves or not.

Thanks for the feedback Joseph... I've been using workingenv for so
long it was hard for me to figure out how to describe the steps in a
way that made sense to a newcomer.

Your detailed notes about your thought process will be very helpful
when I update the getting started pages. I'll definitely be sure to
add some "demystification" details about working environments and the
workingenv.py tool on a separate page too.

I created https://schevo.org/ticket/44 to track this task.
