Added a 4-SoftwareEngineering directory for the Tuesday afternoon material.

With initial notes in the README. Need to finish this up tomorrow.

W. Trevor King: I reformatted the commit message from the original
237de06 so it fits better into --oneline logs.

+Dev Notes
+=========
+
+Things we want to demonstrate:
+
+- write lots of small tools (functions)
+- document your code
+- test your code
+- debugging
+
+ - build in a crash somewhere and explain tracebacks
+ - do an import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
+
+Create a few utilities to work with the `*animal.txt` files from
+introductory Python.
+
+Put all the functionality in one file and make small scripts that import
+from that file, parse command line arguments, and do stuff.
+
+- average number of an animal seen per sighting
+- total number of an animal seen over the season
+- all the sightings on a given day
+
+Students may want an IPython notebook open as a scratch pad.
