Incorrect instructions for dev environment on QuantEcon wiki? #126

All,

I think step 5 in the instructions for setting up the development environment on the QuantEcon Wiki might be wrong. See this SO post for a nice discussion of the difference between

$ python setup.py install 

and

$ python setup.py develop

although the difference is somewhat self-evident.

For reference I was taught by the IPython devs that the optimal command is actually

$ pip install -e .

This may or may not be related to #123 .

I have updated the instructions to inform users this is an option. For my workflow I usually run python at the root level of the package which automatically defaults to running the latest anyway but the develop option is a nice system wide approach.
