install mosh locally (updated june 2017)

install_mosh_locally.sh

#!/bin/bash

# 2017-06 (paulirish): updated for latest sources
# and incorporated fixes from my comments here: https://gist.github.com/xiaom/8264691#gistcomment-1648455

# 2015-ish (zmil): this script does absolutely ZERO error checking.   however, it worked
# for me on a RHEL 6.3 machine on 2012-08-08.  clearly, the version numbers
# and/or URLs should be made variables.  cheers,  zmil...@cs.wisc.edu
