dupe of #899 though I'd actually suggest #899 be closed since this ticket's summary and description are a bit more descriptive (IMO)
It's worth mentioning a host of projects that are specific to homebrew that align with the goal of treating homebrew as a target:
https://github.com/sportngin/brew-gem https://github.com/hanxue/brew-pip https://github.com/jasonkarns/brew-npm (still WIP)
Each of these are brew plugins (External Commands in homebrew terminology) that generate homebrew formula on the fly from a language-specific package manager (rubygems, pip, and npm, respectively)
Could fpm output Homebrew recipes to make it easier for developers to get their software to Mac OS X users?
