Set up an Ubuntu vagrant box for pandas testing.

vagrant_ubuntu_setup.sh

function setup_pandas_build_env()
{
    local cwd=`pwd`
    if [ ! -e "$1" ]; then
        mkdir "$1"
    else
        [ ! -d "$1" ] && echo "$1 is not a directory" && return 1
    fi
    cd "$1"
    vagrant init "$1" "$2"
    vagrant up
