Thanks. :)

Just to be super clear, DO NOT use this in production atm. :>

For this to be actually practical, there needs to be an easy way to
add custom GlusterFS translators to volumes.

So far I'm having to manually edit .vol files and start the gluster
processes from the command line.

There might be an easier (proper) way, but I don't know it yet.

If there's not, we're going to have to think of some way to add it. :)

As a good first step though, the main Glupy code itself was committed
into the main GlusterFS source tree today.  So, it's automatically
part of GlusterFS v3.5 onwards.
