What would it take to support brew, some macOS package manager? #19

I see that system-packages already supports quite a few different package manager. Would it be more or less straightforward for this package to support some other package manager?

Ha, rookie mistake, I just didn't see https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-system-packages/pull/16 💝

@tuedachu is working on #16 indeed, but you are always welcome to help. Most of the code is fairly simple, the hardest part is to extract the information from the output of various commands (which is a little harder than merely calling system-packages).

brew is a little different compared to other package managers that are currently supported. I don't have a macOS, so if you've got experience with it, your input is more than welcome! :)

Merged. That said, lots of features are missing, such as TRAMP support, find-files, etc. Help is more than welcome!
