new 'things' yesterday

Some of the stuff I checked in yesterday was *initial* code
for some new "things".  The "things" you must have in an ARK
system (and code provided by ARK team) are teams, hosts, and
packages.

You may have other ARK "things", too, if you are concerned
with their careful care and feeding.  Previously, team Sidai
provided some (*initial*) code for "user" and "dchunk" (disk
chunk) things.

Yesterday, I checked in code for "license", "maillist",
"purchase-order", "support-call", and "vendor" things.  If,
for example, you felt it necessary to manage call-outs on
support contracts (support-calls) very closely, you might
use (and add to) the "support-call" `thing' code.

At the moment, it's pretty sparse here; when I run

    for i in license maillist purchase-order support-call vendor ; do
	echo --- $i ---
	ark $i ls --quiet ALL
    done

I get

   --- license ---
   --- maillist ---
   --- purchase-order ---
   --- support-call ---
   --- vendor ---
   sun

:-)

The point is: the ARK "language" gives you a *single*
mechanism to manage all the "things" that comprise *your*
sysadmin task.
