Nice! I'm going to hook it into katello based off the rubygem-*
there. Our current spec tests mock at too high a level, imho, and
I've been wanting to do something better.

I'm going to spend some time trying out VCR, using the rubygem-* from aeolus. If
anyone has input on best practices, etc., speak up. I know someone mentioned VCR during
our tech review a few months back, and after checking out a few comparable packages, VCR
seemed the best. Having Aeolus already using it just ups the value.
