Generate packages with bells and whistles.

These include:

- a matching github repository
- an activated repository on travis
- an appveyor project
- generated documentation that
  - automatically syncs to changes on github
  - includes doctests as part of your package testing suite

Please let you know if you run into any issues/have any suggestions
