[hpsdr] Mercury V2.2 and Stage 2 Beta testing

[Phil Harman]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the feedback. The instructions in the README file ask you to 
download the Altera programmer since at 80MB its a lot smaller than the 
1GB for Quartus V8.1.

I did that for consistency across different users. I guess we could 
prompt the user if they have V8.1 on their PC and select the correct 
path.

My DOS batch programming is a bit rusty!
