Devirginator packaging

Ah yes, at the moment, it's very packaging-unfriendly, because it
assumes that all its little helpers are in the current directory.
I guess I should add some "make install" that puts things at a
standard place and/or adds a wrapper to set up some sort of search
path.

That should probably be /usr/bin, since setup.sh doesn't need any
privileges. The name would have to change, too, of course.

There should perhaps also be the option of specifying a different
directory for the devirginator's stash, and perhaps the "devirginate"
script should move into this directory, too. But that's less urgent.

BTW, I wouldn't lose much sleep over the fetcher. That part is ugly
and all the wildcarding is just a band-aid until we have useful names
for our snapshots.
