This patch adds a new --interactive,-i option to augtool.
This option allows to run an interactive shell after evaluating STDIN
or inputfile (given with --file,-f) when passed.
Example of use cases:
* Bob would like to use augtool interatively to test /etc/fstab only.
He sets up a setup.augtool file with the following:
set /augeas/load/Fstab/lens fstab.lns
set /augeas/load/Fstab/incl /etc/fstab
load
then runs `augtool --noautoload -if setup.augtool' and
ends up in an interactive augtool session with his presets.
* Alice wants to use augtool as a shell for some users,
but she would like to restrict the default tree.
I've been thinking of playing with named pipes as well to keep an augtool
session open with a shell, but I can't figure out really how to deal with
that yet.
