Problems with the tutorial

Agree we should change the "please".

Hi,
Here's the list of problems I encountered with the tutorial (though I
never even got that far, as you will see):

1. Minor point, but Zea mays ssp. mexicana is listed as Zea
   mexicana--could be wrong but pretty sure this is a ssp.
2. I believe git comes installed on OSX, does it not? If so, there's no
   need to install it in the tutorial.
3. brew install samtools comes up empty, but it suggests an alternative.
   This should be fixed so no one has issues installing. Maybe link to the
   samtools setup if users have problems using homebrew here?
4. May just be a personal preference, but the command setup please is a
   bit off-putting/patronizing? Seems out-of-convention to use something other
   than setup, anyway.
5. Command name aside, the setup failed when I tried it on a lab computer.
   Nothing was setup. I can try it again and give you the output, but you
   should try your setup command on a few computers that you haven't used for
   angsd-wrapper yet and see if you can get it to work.

1. Fixed
2. I think so, I don't know.
3. I can check this next time I'm at my Mac (buses aren't running on the weekend until school starts). If @pmorrell or @TomJKono could look at this, that'd be awesome.
4. Fixed: it's now setup dependencies and setup data, depending on what you want to download and setup.
5. I've gotten it running on every computer that I've used, and just tried it on a new computer. I can test more tomorrow. I made a few changes to the setup routine, so it may work better for you know.

Git and Wget are on some machines but not others. I think fine to leave in.
