Shoes #1

This extracts the packaging code from Shoes4 and reorganizes it as a Furoshiki responsibility. Run specs with rspec spec.

The code is set up so that Shoes requires Furoshiki (as a packaging utility). Furoshiki does not require Shoes...except that, in order to package a Shoes app, Furoshiki needs to bundle a Shoes gem. So, currently, it does not require Shoes (in a require 'shoes' sense), but it does require that the Shoes gem is installed in the current environment. Not quite a circular dependency, but it feels awkward. Improvements welcome.

I propose that we merge this in and release a 0.0.3, so that we can add 'furoshiki', '> 0.0.3' to our Shoes 4 dependencies. I have pushed a compatible Shoes 4 branch.

Cheers!

I forgot to mention that this code downloads and caches a large .app wrapper file. It uses this directory:

"#{ENV['FUROSHIKI_HOME'] || '~/.furoshiki'}/cache"

I foresee this library having to do a fair bit of downloading and caching. The current code can be refactored and reused for multiple kinds of packages.

Seems awesome. I'm going to release it as 0.1.0.
