The instructions to set up DOCKER_HOST seem a bit messy. Thoughts?

Fixes #26

Agreed, bit messy. (Also, that > should probably be a >>.)

Perhaps we could punt on the profile bit? That would make it a bit cleaner and less bash-specific.

If you're on OS X, you can use the OS X installer. You'll also need to set an environment variable to point at the Boot2Docker virtual machine:

$ export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://`boot2docker ip`:2375

Of course, there's then the danger that people won't understand that they need to set that environment variable somewhere more permanent than just in the current shell session.

Fixes docker#26
