Building from release tarball fails

[picsel2]

Mt-KaHyPar can not be built from the release tarball because the directories of git submodules are not populated:

Thank you for pointing that out. It seems that is a known issue on GitHub and may require some workarounds. I will look next week into this and try to find out the best way how to integrate the submodules.

[kittobi1992]

There is now a build script for building Mt-KaHyPar from a github repository and a release archive. I also added a script that checkouts the submodules. Moreover, there is script that scans all submodules in the repository and then generates the submodule checkout script.
