STV Ballots working in pytest

HI again folks,
I've been rewriting what I made for the current trunk of STeVe, and now 
have working STV ballots in pytest (maybe I should rename it to 
pysteve). I have yet to make a fully functional web interface for 
editing elections, so I had to use the REST API manually to set up an 
stv election, but if you navigate to 
http://stv.website/ballot_stv.html?foo/baz/9313c1b2ba82404b006930d9c964c19a 
you should be able to see one such STV election.

Another thing I did was add a cryptohash thingermajig to every email 
receipt. This hash alone is useless and differs from voter to voter, no 
matter if they all voted the same way. It can however be useful to 
verify that what people voted is what is written to disk, in case foul 
play is suspected.

For now, as I haven't made an invite feature yet, whatever you vote ends 
up with a receipt in my inbox, but I'll manage :)

if you'd like to be test subjects, just throw me your email address 
off-list and I'll add you to the list of possible invitees for when I 
get the invitation feature working (possibly this weekend).

Try it out, comments/feedback is much appreciated!

With regards,
Daniel.
