* reworked OpenSLX::OSSetup::Distro structure to incorporate

  a distro specific hierarchy level in addition to the 
  distro & version specific files. The latter will be converted
  to config-files soon.
* moved string2Array() and chrootInto() from 
  OpenSLX::OSSetup::Engine to OpenSLX::Utils to make them
  available to other callers
* started work on ubuntu & debian installation (not done yet)
* cleaned interface of OpenSLX::OSSetup::Engine (separated
  public from private methods)
