---------------------------------+--------------------
 Currently the bwauthority is quite out of date with the current python
 ecosystem and doesn't play nice in a dev environment.

 The submitted patch makes the following updates:

 1) Removes the cron setup to a separate script (so running setup.sh
 doesn't alter your crontab)
 2) Changes the shell script to use a modern pip instead of peep (peep is
 deprecated and hash checking is incorporated into pip as of version 8.0
 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peep/)
 3) Updated dependencies as far as possible (Elixer's last version is 0.7.1
 and is only compatible with SQLAlchemy <= 0.7.8, obvious future
 enhancement to move away from Elixir)
 4) Added a convenience script to kill all the spun up processes
 5) Updated the ReadMe and the .gitignore to reflect these changes.
