Review request for OpenLMI Developers.


Repository: openlmi-providers


Description
-------

Here's a new registration script. It's a merge of the existing
openlmi-mof-register and openlmi-register pegasus and should work as drop-in replacement
for the openlmi-mof-register. The only slight difference is that the Pegasus interop
namespace is not hard coded into the Pegasus registration calls but now there's an
attempt to detect the right one.  And the whole thing is now written in (sort of) Python.

This is only the first step in the registration rewrite: Python should make it easier for
manipulating a "side database" that would keep the registration data
independently of the CIMOMs and eventually allow for re-registration when a new CIMOM is
installed or upgraded.  This will also make possible for the providers package not to
depend on a CIMOM.  I will prepare some design sketches of the registration process I
envision to gather feedback and ideas: doing this correctly and robustly enough is going
to be rather difficult.
