Update of the Wiki [Was: SOLVED: plots are still blank]

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Hello Rob,

Thanks for this! It was mainly OK. I added some extra information about
the SCI/etc/classpath.xml which can be used to set the path to the jar
libs and also that *.so can be set thanks to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable.
I also did some cosmetic changes! 
Don't hesitate to update other pages on the wiki.

Thanks again.
Cheers,
Sylvestre
