Automated IdP Installation

[Nathan Mische]

The problem is the build doesn't check for property existence before
prompting the user for input. That is what I added to the build.

Here is a typical change I made:

before:
<input message="Where should the Shibboleth Identity Provider software
be installed?" addproperty="idp.home.input"
defaultvalue="${idp.home}"/>
<var name="idp.home" value="${idp.home.input}"/>

after:

<if>
  <isset property="idp.home.input" />
  <then>
     echo message="Installing the Shibboleth Identity Provider
software to: ${idp.home.input}."/>
  </then>
  <else>
    <input message="Where should the Shibboleth Identity Provider
software be installed?" addproperty="idp.home.input"
defaultvalue="${idp.home}"/>
  </else>
</if>
<var name="idp.home" value="${idp.home.input}"/>
