The goal is to explore how graphgist can be used to feed data to d3js visualisations. Vegetable data have been obtained through the scrapping of various websites. They have been normalized to bring to a common scale data on different measurement units or dates from different hemispheres. Then they have been reduced, to binify any continuous data. 

To avoid to overtax the console, only one plant is loaded in this example ("anise").

## First do the unix account setup http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Unix_account_setup
cd ${HOME}
# create the first level directories (and log/setup)
mkdir -pv soft run www log log/setup backup data
# create the second level directories within run (our own FHS)
for subdir in bin etc include lib man share
do
  mkdir -pv run/${subdir}
done
# symlink so that man pages stay all in the same place
