Open Stack

I think I've found the time sink for the rest of my Monday
afternoon... thanks Robert!

We've talked about it and that's one reason I did split
install-deps.sh out of stack.sh.  The last I remember is that the
python deps needed some attention first, including getting the
handling of them out of DevStack, and it feel like we're there now.
Time to get busy...

A quick tour through DevStack's apts/rpms/suse-rpms dir gives us a
reasonable idea of the granularity that is needed: distro and release
seem to be enough.  We have overlapped Fedora/RHEL and Ubuntu/Debian
because of their close relationships so the exceptions are manageable.

I'm game to try this out.  [he says before looking at the code ;) ]
