You should add a homebrew installation script

Thanks for the issue and PR (#327), @orefalo!

Before going through that PR, I want to talk through if that's the right approach.

From my understanding, in brew there's first-part packages in "homebrew-core", and there's third-party "taps" that can be added.
In order for updates to correctly be handled, I think we need one of those two mechanisms.

In addition, I think a "tap" effectively git clones a repository and finds all formulae within it, which leads me to think that it makes more sense to put the tap in its own separate repository so "brew tap " doesn't have to clone unnecessary stuff (i.e. put it in 'brew tap euank/pazi-brew' or such that's only updated for version bumps).

I think the questions I want to figure out here are:

1. Should we add this to upstream brew? Will they want this package there?
   This seems like it has better usability (no need to add a separate tap), and seems more discoverable too. It just kinda depends on whether they'll accept it, but if they will, this seems preferable.
2. Should we split out a separate repo to be a 'tap' for brew?
   This kinda depends on how 'brew tap euank/pazi' would behave if we added a formulae to this. I suspect it would transfer extra data / be slower / potentially confuse brew, so I'm kinda inclined towards a separate repo.
3. Am I misunderstanding anything in how brew's normally used? Is there another option?

Hi, I am no expert at brew. I built the script from a sample, in the end it's much easier for me to manage my cli customizations like that. tap is a neat option, I didn't look into it.

1. I tried to submit on homebrew repo a few months ago - they want the formula that runs all the unit tests - that's beyond my scope.
2. typically, you would fork the homebrew repo and author/maintain the formula from there. I can't speak about tap
3. Another option, based on z should have an interactive mode #1, is just to add the formula in a subfolder of your main repo, and add instructions to install via brew install http://url. I find the tap to be an extra step that I don't need.

Hope this helps
