Hello team,

Here comes our first translation from ODT to AsciiDoc.
The 'Installation Guide' document [1] is translated to AsciiDoc, it
can be referred at
https://github.com/swapnilmmane/roller/blob/master/docs/roller-install-guide.adoc

Before committing, I would like to get it reviewed from the community.
Please feel free to comment.

P.S. I have removed the 'OpenDS project' mention from Acknowledgments
section since now we have converted the document to AsciiDoc.

Best regards,
Swapnil M Mane,
