[guardian-dev] notecipher

[Abel Luck]

I had a private question about setting up a notecipher build environment
from someone who is interested in contributing (I'll let them introduce
themselves if they want).

Anyways, I went ahead and upgraded NotecIpher to use GP's recommended
project layout and updated the README to include build instructions that
work.

People should feel free to hack away on NoteCipher, or, as Hans
suggested, ignore it and investigate some more mature note taking apps
we could integrate our security suite into.
