If I skip the fact there is no katello-configure on non-RH systems, this 
can only work for developers. But users who want to run Katello on
non-RH systems as a whole? How do they run Pulp? Candlepin?

I mean, without having possibility to install backend engines on non-RH
systems, this is pretty useless for katello users. We should maybe start
with that.

Let's get koji done and then we can discuss what to do with gem repos. I
think distributing katello with Gemfile is enough for ruby folks to
start it up on unsupported platforms. We will check that.
