Installs and configures WAL-E using envdir to store configuration. Sets up a crontab entry to perform base backups. You still need to configure Postgres manually/separately to archive WAL files.
(Tested on Debian/Ubuntu only - will probably break on other distributions.)
Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 extensively.
