I'd really like a dirt-simple, easy, automated way to build an image to
someone else's system specs.
By "system specs", I mean something pretty coarse-grained:
* Image version
* Last update #
* Installed SM package-versions
I'd like this to be built into the "mail to list" functionality, so that
[BUG][FIX][ENH] posts automatically have a system.specs file attached.
