ack.  pushed to master.

Thanks, Rob, this is really nice.  Two things I'd like to see going
forward:

1. Enable it by default.  Is it a Fedora policy to not have
tab-completion enabled by default?  What does a user need to do to
enable this?

2. Improve performance.  I'm to blame for this, but the start-up time of
ipa is a bit too slow for this to feel right.  As I've never profiled
it, there is probably some low hanging fruit that could give us a decent
boost.  Otherwise we can prepare a static list of commands when the
package is installed.
