A bunch of Fabric commands we use all the time

This package contains a selection of Fabric command we at NiteoWeb use all the time. By sharing them online we hope to save someone some time researching how certain Plone-oriented tasks are performed with Fabric. Commands contain some hardcoded internal stuff, so they are not really usable out-of-the-box, more so as a point of reference. If there is interest, we’ll rewrite them to be more reusable.
