add new 'alias' qualifier

Added Kim Rutherford

Add TravisCI Support, change README to markdown

Rather than testing the Ant build under multiple JDKs, I've arbitrarily
decided to test it only under openjdk7.  This keeps us to 4 builds
rather than 6 before the build is reported as green which should be a
bit quicker.

ant builds copy everything in the pwd into ant_build and then try to
build all of the java files copied, including those of the dependencies
which are built separately.  This does not end well.
