Cool! Cooker finally has an Augeas package in main!

The issue with the rpm+augeas embedding is that augeas
development is pretty active, with lots of patterns
in lenses and more. SO I did an implementation
against the git check-out in order to keep up.

Augeas is just starting to get picked up by distros like Cooker,
so it is difficult to design the AutoFu to Just Work because there
isn't any clear reference point with a "released" version.

Now there is a reference point: augeas in cooker devel

Note that augtool is/was the basis (as a nicely designed CLI tool) for
all of the embeddings in RPM. And the embedding used in RPM isn't
really any different than the libffi in the Python augeas bindings.
Nother are quite simple to do because of the excellently designed augtool
"high level" library API.

Per Oyvind: Would you like to try RPM+Augeas in Cooker? You are the
maintainer, I'm just the asshole here ;-)

(aside)
If you could also arrange to link against the OSSP uuid in
the Cooker packaging, I can start demonstrating how
UUID's can be used for package "identification".

Sound like a plan?
