Description
========================================
As you guys know, I'm getting into the world of Asterisk and file from #asterisk suggested that I use contrib/scripts/install_prereq but I noticed a few issues with it;

- There was no debug in the terminal to tell me it was doing anything.
- The help wasn't not very verbose.
- Linux Mint was not supported.

I've had a look at the script and proposed some changes;

- Added a more verbose help menu.
- Added error message for Mint users to inform them to submit a patch.
- Reorganised and reformatted the source code to allow future patches to be submitted more easily.
- Script verbosity has been increased.
