During the install script the user is prompted to give the aegir user a pw instead of making it a system user,

Thanks acbot,

I've committed a whole bunch of changes to install.sh to make it actually usable:

1) made consistent with INSTALL.txt and g.d.o where required,
2) use postfix instead of exim so we have a mailserver that, you know, actually works
3) handle the potential for a mysql root user with no password,
4) Make it more clear when prompting for things like 'Password:', whether this is the password for the new db user or the mysql root password
5) create aegir user as a system user,
6) Due to 5), be automatic about it no need to type 'exit' to actually proceed (??)
7) more verbosity and clarity where appropriate, including giving the full path to the drush executable at the end of install in preparation for the web-browser based install, since we give everything else to the user

Tested rather ruthlessly with fresh system as I made each change, but please file any issues if you are able to test against HEAD.
