The existing travis.yml is a first attempt at using travis.  (Hint:
help with cleaning it up would be much appreciated.)  Should this
travis.yml be included now in 1.3.1 or deferred to 1.3.2?  Let's sync
up on what should be included when.  Additional suggestions are
welcome.

1.3.1 release (~1 week):
- minor fixes

Proposed 1.3.2 features (~3 months):
- Travis integration
- Support providing the TPM 2.0 PCRs as a file (--pcrs option).
- Walking the TPM 2.0 event log as the basis for calculating the
"boot_aggregate".

thanks,

Mimi
