[et-mgmt-tools] CFT Support for OSX

[Rizwan Kassim]

I've started using CFT on some of our Linux machines - it's quite impressive.

I've started to look into using CFT on OSX. There's nothing as simple
and easy to use as FAM/Gamin on OSX, but there is the fseventer
framework.

I'm not a skilled Ruby developer by any means, but iI'll give it a
shot (along with my other projects - this probably won't be a fast
thing to do). David suggested I email the list.

There's also a Ruby module to make Ruby and FSEvents play together.

I suppose a great way to start would be to better understand what CFT
needs from ruby-fam? Does it just need file modification events or the
content of the modification as well?

Thanks!
