[PetiteCloud] requirements for 0.3

[Michael Thoreson]

Fuse is now built into FreeBSD as of v 10 so it would not need to be 
externalized. Fuse on Linux would be installed on host by default as it 
is a requirement for the GlusterFS client. So in both cases Fuse does 
not need to be externalized.

Windows installer can be scripted with PowerShell. Think of PowerShell 
as the standard command prompt on supersized steroids. Powershell forms 
the bases of Windows Server 2012 non-gui installations.

Okay. Then perhaps PC be a C written daemon to control the node it is 
installed on but make the gui a web based app that can then be run on 
any pc or potentially mobile device which can manage all nodes and alert 
the admin of issues in realtime.
