Yeah.. the 'INSTALL' file really needs updating... well, patches are 
welcome ;-)

First you need an admin user, which you can no longer create through 
the web.  So you need to use the admin tool, and it looks like I forgot 
to add a help topic for 'create' -- I've just added one.  So:

	$ bin/pg_admin
	pangloss> help
	pangloss> connect memory
	pangloss> create admin

Once you have an admin user, you can use the website to create things.  
Alternatively, if you have loads of terms, you can stick them in YAML 
format and do this:

	pangloss> help load
	pangloss> load 't/data/terms.yml'
	pangloss> help save
	pangloss> save loaded concepts

Note you'll have to add the languages through the web interface - I 
haven't had the time to improve the shell to create/load other types of 
objects.
