Install utility to deploy openstack on multiple hosts.

Utility to install OpenStack on RHEL 6.4 (Openstack Grizzly)
See other branches for older openstack versions

This utility can be used to install openstack on a single or
group of hosts (over ssh)

This utility is still in the early stages, a lot of the configuration
options have yet to be added

Installation
$ yum install -y git
$ git clone --recursive git://github.com/stackforge/packstack.git
$ cd packstack

Option 1 (using answer file)
$ ./bin/packstack --gen-answer-file=ans.txt

then edit ans.txt as appropriate e.g.

o set CONFIG_SSH_KEY to a public ssh key to be installed to remote machines
o Edit the IP address to anywhere you want to install a piece of openstack on another server
o Edit the 3 network interfaces to whatever makes sense in your setup

you'll need to use a grizzly repository for example for RHEL
CONFIG_REPO=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-grizzly/epel-6/

$ ./bin/packstack --answer-file=ans.txt

Option 2 (prompts for configuration options)
$ ./bin/packstack

thats it, if everything went well you can now start using openstack
$ cd
$ . keystonerc_admin
$ nova list
$ swift list # if you have installed swift

Config options
CONFIG_NOVA_COMPUTE_HOSTS :
a comma seperated list of ip addresses on which to install nova compute
CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGE_HOSTS :
a comma seperate list of swift storage devices
1.1.1.1 : create a testing loopback device and use this for storage
1.1.1.1/sdb : use /dev/sdb on 1.1.1.1 as a storage device
