Title: Sample data usage

This PR embodies the changes necessary to reduce the data size of the sample data. It has drawn heavily from the work done by @bblay in #19.

Currently, the sample data can be found in my repository at https://github.com/pelson/iris-data . The license of the data is still not fully clear, but my primary aim at this stage has been to focus on the data size. A version of the built documentation, built using this branch, can be found at http://pelson.github.com/iris/ .

I have added a new configuration variable to allow users to specify the location of the sample data directory, but have not yet fully tidied up the old mechanisms (partly because that would affect the way the tests run, and I didn't want to muddy the waters).
