[asdf-install-devel] Tutorial updated, version 0.6.0 released

[Gary King]

Version 0.6.0 of Portable ASDF-Install has been released. The largest  
changes are:

* reworking of GPG key handling
* Changes to the API of the install function
* Changes to the tutorial

1. The GPG check previously piped the signature file directly into  
the call gpg via a network stream. This worked great but required a  
lot of platform specific code. Since downloading and shell commands  
are already used by ASDF-Install, the GPG check now downloads the  
signature and processes it as a file.

2. The install function now has an additional keyword argument:  
where. The function signature is

     install package-or-packages &key where propagate?

     * package-or-packages is a system designator or list of system  
designators.
     * where specifies where to install the systems. It can be a  
number, symbol or string. If it is a number, it specifies the index  
of the location specifier in  *asdf-install:locations*. If a string  
or a symbol, it is used to find the location in *asdf- 
install:locations* by comparing it with the third item in the list.

3. The tutorial has been broken into sections for easier navigation.  
This is still a work in progress. There are many broken inter-page  
links and the table of contents has temporarily been left in the  
dust. The old tutorial is still available as a link from the new one.
