=== Changes
* CHG: explicitly refuse to back-up to exFAT because it doesn't handle
properly case insensitive deletion of files, closes 38

that version appears correctly instead of DEV, closes 305
* CHG: testing explicitly for existence of tempdir might make certain
setups fail now because tempdir was silently ignored
* DEV: Add a misc script to setup an ArchLinux as development platform
* DEV: add a new Vagrant configuration to do some smoke tests between
the current/development version and any older one
* DEV: Add samba server with pre-defined shares to Windows vagrant
setup to allow for more extensive tests on shares

leading to errors in librsynctest, closes 304

block or char
