 This patch adds support for testing of grass head branch for OS X on
 travis-ci.

 Continuous integreation (see [https://github.com/GRASS-GIS/grass-ci] and
 [https://travis-ci.org/GRASS-GIS/grass-ci]) was only done for Linux.

 With this patch, tests are also done for OS X using homebrew.

 The tests are running (see [https://travis-ci.org/rkrug/grass-ci]).

 In addition to applying this patch, the multiplatform support needs to be
 enabled for travis-ci which has to be done by mailing travis-ci support.

 Effectively, I have done the following:

 1) moved the linux test section into separate script files
 2) created equivalent ones for OS X
 3) changed the .travis.yml file to call the scripts depending on the OS
 running

 At the moment only installation is tested, but adding support for tests is
 trivial, but details questions concerning which tests, if the results can
 be uploaded, ... need to be decided.

 The same can done for other branches as well.
