[Spacewalk-list] moving spacewalk clients from the one to another spacewalk server

[Colin Coe]

I've written a suite of scripts to do just this but it's probably overkill.

The scripts are (from memory):
1) make_sat_client_backend.pl
- intended to be run on the Spacewalk/Satellite server
- creates kickstart profiles and activationkeys used by the client
2) make_sat_client.py
- uses the appropriate kickstart profile and activation key to join
the required spacewalk server.
3) init_sat_client
- does a bunch of useful post join stuff

If people are interested, I'll post them but they are built are my
requirements and may not suite everybody.
