[chora] Installation Instructions

I've been installing/using Chora for a while now, and for some reason,
the instructions to copy the config files
for f in *.dist; do cp $f `basename $f .dist`; done
doesn't work on my system, and I usually end up copying them by hand.
I would like to recommend these patches for the documentation,
to include instructions of using php's cli to complete the task.
These are modified versions of the INSTALL files that came
with the downloadable versions of Chora 2/Horde 3 (of which their minimum
php versions should be supporting php's cli).
Thanks for listening...
