[storm] Automated package builds of Storm's trunk

I've just set up a new PPA to hold automated package builds of Storm's trunk:

https://launchpad.net/~storm/+archive/daily

This is not intended to replace the distribution packages, or the
existing Storm releases PPA.  Instead, it is for people who want to
try out the latest unreleased features in Storm and are willing to
accept a smaller amount of testing.  We do run the test suite before
each commit to trunk though, so I wouldn't expect these packages to be
unusable.

I've currently only set things up to build packages for Oneiric
(11.10) and Precise (12.04).  I haven't built packages for Lucid
(10.04) since the current Debian/Ubuntu packaging I'm using makes use
of some features not present in that release.  If there is interest
though, I guess we can look at changing that.

For those interested in the nuts and bolts, these packages are built
using Launchpad's recipe system:

https://code.launchpad.net/~storm/+recipe/storm-daily

Each day, LP will check to see if there are any new revisions in
Storm's trunk.  If there are, it will build a new source package based
on the recipe and submit it to the builders.  So things should
continue to function should I go on a holiday or something :)

James.
