ISconf4 proof of concept

The attached prototype code is all in Perl, most of it written in a feverish few days in order to demo it for a LISA 2003 workshop. It's only about 1200 lines; a lot of that is dead junk. I use it to manage my own small set of production machines, but please don't use this code on any machines you care about. Please don't base any other code on it -- the file formats and wire protocols are all going to change. It probably doesn't make any sense to file tickets against anything you find here either -- very little of this code is likely to be used going forward.

There are no docs for this protoype code, and even 'make install' won't work as-is for you; the bin/upgrade code it calls assumes you already have a version of this code installed and/or running. The only reason we even needed the bin/upgrade code complexity is because I was trying to implement everything as plugins -- bad idea, see DevelopmentPlan for details.

See DevelopmentPlan for what else needs to be done before general release.
