I figured it just made sense from a team perspective to have Cinder
maintain this.  That's where the relevant domain expertise is.

The mechanics would certainly be easier as far as syncing code, since it
would be with the other code in the same situation.  However, that's
short term anyway.  Hopefully the real library is out ASAP in Icehouse.

Btw, these changes for Nova didn't make for the feature freeze.  So, we
will have to discuss whether an exception makes sense.  The alternative
is to just defer Nova's use of brick to Icehouse and when it's released
as a library.
