hello guys,

    I have resumed the work on index building tool.

    The directory structure of the installation has changed in the version 1.5.x

    Currently we have two locations of interest

        a. The location of ADS installation - This is represented in the code 
as the InstallationLayout

                |-- bin
                |-- conf
                |-- lib
                |   `-- ext
                `-- var
                    |-- log
                    |-- partitions
                    `-- run

        b. The location of ADS instance(s) - ( No reference to this in code atm 
)

                |-- conf
                |-- ldif
                |-- log
                |-- partitions
                |   |-- example
                |   |-- schema
                |   `-- system
                `-- run

    AFAIU all the commands need to have access to the location of the 
instance(b) rather than the
    InstallationLayout(a)

    I would like to create a new class to use in the tools which represent the 
location of instance
    and the associated directories. This is because

    1. the commands require access to partition data
    2. InstallationLayout class is used mainly by the daemon module and don't 
want to change it.

    Note: There is an issue with the standalone archive installation in which 
both (a) and (b) are
          in the same location but the partition data directory is in a wrong 
directory.

    wdyt?

    P.S :- I would like to name the new class InstanceLayout
