editorconfig/editorconfig-jedit — Issue #1: Build instructions unclear

I had trouble installing the plugin because I didn't realize that the jEdit plugin should be in the same parent directory as build-support (rather than `build-support` being within the jEdit plugin directory or vice versa).

I think the README file should be more clear about the directory structure.

We could include a code example like this:

git clone git://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-jedit.git
svn co https://jedit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jedit/build-support/trunk build-support
cd editorconfig-jedit
cp build.properties.in build.properties # Copy build properties and modify jedit.install.dir as needed
ant

We could also just add a note that the `build-support` directory should be in the same directory as the `editorconfig-jedit` directory.
