swc-windows-installer.sh: Install the sqlite3 shell

The novice/sql lessons currently revolve around some IPython magic,
but even they use the SQLite shell to do the initial database setup
[1]. The SQLite shell has also seen a bit more developer time than
our one-off magic [2], so it's probably more robust ;).
I've installed this in it's own directory (rather than just dumping it
into ~/.swc/bin), because zip_install uses the existence of
${INSTALL_DIRECTORY} to decide whether or not the installation has
already happened. create_nosetests_entry_point will have already
created ${BIN_DIR}, so we need to use a different target directory for
SQLite. We could also flip the order and run install_sqlite first,
but that doesn't scale well if we install more packages in the future,
and it's easier to keep the installs separate and keep adding to the
path.

swc-windows-installer.sh: Generalize msysGit download link
SWC's current setup instructions use both "Git for Windows" and "Git
Bash" [1]. They link to the Git for Windows installer [2] and not the
msysGit installer [3]. Since SWC has Make lessons [4], I think it
makes more sense to have students installing msysGit (which has Make
[5]) than to have them install Git for Windows (which does not have
Make [6]).
However, none of this matters for *this* Windows installer. Because
this script works with both the full msysGit and the minimal Git for
Windows, I'm sticking to msysGit (the more generic project name), and
generalizing the suggested link to
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list.

I also replaced an:
if [ ... ]
condition with:
if test ...
to match the rest of the script.
The underscore prefixes in the string-equality test are to avoid miss
interpretation in the pathological case that RCPATH starts with '!' or
some such. It's hard to imagine how this could happen with the
current script, but... safety first ;).

swc-windows-installer.sh: Install nano source syntax highlighters
Make writing Python source code (and a number of other languages) a
bit more exciting for the eyes and easier on the brain by coloring
strings, comments, and such.
We need to install the source tarball because the compiled zip doesn't
include the syntax highlighting scripts. To make that easier, I've
extracted out the download / hash-check functionality into a new
download(), which I use in both the old zip_install() and the new
tar_install(). If the user doesn't have an existing ~/.nanorc, we
populate it by adding 'include' options for each of the syntax files
in the Nano tarball. If they do have an existing ~/.nanorc, I assume
they know what they're doing ;).

POSIX shell, because an interpreted language from 1977 [1] is more
widely supported than an interpreted language from 1991 [2]. It looks
like the default msysGit install sets up the right double-click magic
too:

This integerates some of Ethan's nano-installer changes. In the pull
request, Ethan elaborates on the .bash_profile choice [1]:
In response to comments on the Tutors list the installer now uses
.bash_profile instead of .bashrc and appends the lines rather than
overwriting the file. I have also added comments that indicate where
the new lines in .bash_profile come from.
Once the Python version is in I'll move on to getting this compiled
into a .exe file, which should be more familiar to our students and
won't run into issues with Canopy installs opening the file in
Canopy rather than executing it.
The referenced tutors@ discussion is in the messages leading up to
[2], where Ethan top-quotes a discussion with R. David Murray about
the relative merits of .bash_profile and .bashrc. The imporant point
David made was that .bash_profile is only executed once at login,
while .bashrc is executed for each new shell. Putting PATH appends in
.bash_profile means that you don't end up adding duplicate entries to
the PATH as you spawn subshells. For example:
