[kepler-dev] renaming Loader and test installers

[Chad Berkley]

Hey Christopher,

Thanks for checking out the installers.  Maybe I should have been a bit 
clearer in my email.  This isn't a release, just a test of the 
installers.  Eventually we'll make a branch for the release, but I don't 
think we're there yet.  We need to get more of the major functionality 
in before we do that.

Are you guys planning a release soon (even a beta)?  It'd be nice, maybe 
by the beginning of June to have a tag of ptII to work off of.

thanks,
chad
