README.md: Adjust headings
I originally made these effectively <h2> headers because I didn't
want to compete with the GitHub headings when the file was viewed
on their web interface. As it turns out, GitHub renders this in an
HTML5 article tag, which sits in its own world on the page, so it
shouldn't matter.

# Curriculum Vitae for Alan Orth
A CV written in LaTeX using the [moderncv](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/moderncv) class.
## Sample
Here's what it looks like with real data, using the "classic" style and blue color scheme:
![Image](/cv_sample.png?raw=true "Sample CV")
## Why
I decided to start keeping my CV in LaTeX because:
* I can never find my CV when I need it
* I have dozens of files named `resume.doc` on my computer
* LaTeX -> PDF ensures a consistent, beautiful layout
* Writing your CV in a source-based language means you can track it in git (w00t!)
## Usage
To "build" a PDF you simply type:
$ make
To clean up all generated and intermediate content, type:
$ make clean
## Pre-requistes for building
Depending on your GNU/Linux distribution the package names may be different. Basically, you need the `texlive` package, as well as whichever "extras" package contains the moderncv stuff.
__On Arch Linux:__
$ sudo pacman -Sy texlive-core texlive-latexextra
__On Fedora:__
$ sudo yum install texlive texlive-moderncv
__On Ubuntu:__
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports
$ sudo apt-get install texlive
$ sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install texlive-latex-extra
__Mac OS X:__ download and install [BasicTeX](https://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html) (a minimal TeXLive distribution) and then:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2015basic/bin/x86_64-darwin
$ sudo tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended
$ wget https://launchpad.net/moderncv/trunk/1.5.1/+download/moderncv-1.5.1.zip
$ unzip moderncv-1.5.1.zip
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/texlive/2015basic/texmf-local/tex/latex/moderncv
$ sudo cp moderncv/*.sty moderncv/*.cls /usr/local/texlive/2015basic/texmf-local/tex/latex/moderncv
$ sudo mktexlsr
