Talking about this a bit more on IRC this morning we all realized that
Puppet isn't a hard requirement. Just simply providing a pluggable
mechanism to inject this sort of information into the nodes in a clean
way is all we need.

Steve Hardy's suggestion here is probably the cleanest way to support
this sort of configuration in a generic fashion.

I don't believe this solution runs post deployment however. So if
running a hook post deployment is a requirement we may need to wire in a
similar generic config parameter for that as well.
