Add native install package for Ubuntu and Mac OS

For Mac, the "macpack" tool is part of Mono and can be used to build a .dmg file to allow users to simply click to install it. This should be produced when a native Cocoa interface is implemented.

For Ubuntu the Debian Package Maker should be able to build a .deb file for easy install: https://code.google.com/p/debianpackagemaker/ Also for Debian, the CLI policy should be followed: http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/cli-policy/ch-packaging.html If possible an RPM file should also be created, and possibly also a "build from source" tarball with makefiles.

There is now a first version of Duplicati for OSX 1.3.0.990 with dmg: https://code.google.com/p/duplicati/wiki/Downloads Please try it, and let me know how it works.

There are two known problems:

1. A "Duplicati Control Window" floats around
2. Closing by clicking the red X causes Duplicati to hang, ctrl+click the Dock icon and Choose "Exit"

There are now a .deb and .rpm build available. For other systems, there is a .tgz build.

Compared to just using the zip, the Linux builds include a GNOME desktop file, so you get a Duplicati icon in your launcher menu. There are also symlinks installed in /usr/bin/duplicati and /usr/bin/duplicati.commandline.

Please try it, and let me know how it works.

The RPM package does not install the Mono dependencies (but the .deb does).

To install mono manually on Fedora run:
yum install mono-basic mono-winforms expect
