Description

Create a script for $MAHOUT_HOME/examples/bin to launch a spark cluster on EC2 using e.g.: spark-ec2, to:

1. launch an EC2 Cluster
2. Install Mahout
3. Install either JCuda or ViennaCL
4. RSYNC CUDA drivers and libraries in the case of JCuda

Much of this is already done in the .travis.yml configuration.

This should lessen the learning curve for those wishing to make use of the native solvers.
