New server management tools

If you've read our guide on setting up servers you'll be happy to know we've made it a bit easier. You can now download and update servers using one script. This script is mostly meant for Amazon EC2 servers but can be easily adapted. It is automatically downloaded from now on if you use our "setupec2" script. We've updated the guide with all this info too.

Thank you!
