Pre-release of Juju 1.11.2 for OSX (testing needed)

[Rodrigo Chacon]

No need to apologize Dave, this is the beauty of open source. =D

Also, your formula is way more elegant then what I was thinking of for the
*build from source* solution. (I didn't know that the Launchpad tarball had
all the dependencies already). I say we contribute to make this the best
formula possible.

Well, that said, I've grabbed your branch and made some improvements [1] (I
tried to open a pull request but GitHub isn't finding your fork for base
selection). Basically added a "caveat" message (is this the better way to
print a help message at the end of the install? Have seen lots of other
formulas using this, but "caveats" seems like the wrong name for it), and a
test function to check that the compiled binary is working (simply running
"juju version").

I have a question though, in my previous formula I called it simply "juju"
and you called it "juju-core". I find it a little confusing, to new users,
to install *juju-core* and get the *juju* command. With the Go port being
the main Juju version, what is the reasons to keep the apt-get package and
Homebrew formula named as *juju-core*?

* There is also a way [2] to setup a devel version for Homebrew, this would
be cool too so we can test the bleeding edge (will be looking for it later).
