I had some difficulty setting up and maintaining my own gitian build system. So in the time-honored tradition of scratching my own itch, I recorded the necessary steps into a makefile so that doing a gitian build is a simple as "cd contrib/vagrant && make", on any platform provided that you have the necessary dependencies installed. I hope that others find this useful. I have submitted these scripts as pull-request #1597 on github. Cheers, Mark Friedenbach
