Converting existing CLI into shared object will enable developers to 
extend the CLI functionality as required. (Similar to libgfapi)

Another wish is to create GlusterFS SDK(Includes both CLI and GfApi 
functionality) in multiple programming languages(Starting with Python 
and golang). It is easy to create web app/mobile app/REST apis if SDK is 
available.
