[tech] Napoli

[David Adam]

I have upgraded Napoli to Mac OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks").

LDAP logins and NFS home directories seem to work - they didn't at first, 
but I altered the mapping in Directory Utility to map 'NFSHomeDirectory' 
directly to 'homeDirectory' from LDAP, and then created a symlink for 
/home to the /net/services.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au directory and things are ok. 
(I suspect a cached entry was screwing this up for a while.)

I have installed iTerm 2 and Xcode 5 as well, and the command-line tools 
for Xcode.

I have also installed Homebrew. This is software that is poorly designed 
for a multi-user system; it cowardly refuses to run as root and so is 
currently owned by me.
