This patch adds a Makefile that will build and install exa along with its recently added manual page. This provides a little bit of a nicer installation path while we wait for Cargo to, hopefully, provide its own built-in installation method for packages that contain binaries.

Installation
exa is written in Rust. You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple make install
will compile exa and install it into /usr/local/bin
.
exa depends on libgit2 for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing --no-default-features
to Cargo.
