-----------------------------------

This is all part of the plan for V3 intaller - entirely seperate user input from installation or update

> The current Ant installer requires user input which makes it difficult to automate the Shibboleth IdP installation. To fix this users should be allowed to provide all required input via a properties file.
> As an example I have modified the IdP v2 installer to allow users to define required input in the install.properties file. The Ant build then checks for the following properties before prompting the user for input:
> idp.home.input
> install.config
> idp.hostname.input
> idp.keystore.pass
> See attachment for this patch.
