Title: Jenkins command-line client

This is is a skeleton for a Jenkins command-line client based on jenkins-client. This week I watched a talk by @textarcana at Jenkins NYC that talked about all kinds of command-line stuff that he's writing as 1-off ruby scripts. With a proper gem and a client ala Heroku you could do `jenkins jobs` and get command-line output that you can grep, cut and spark.

This is a skeleton for a command-line client, heavily inspired (aka copied) from the Heroku gem. It has one simple `help` command implemented and is ready to get more commands to do anything Jenkins-related. It needs authentication support and stuff like too.

You don't have to merge this yet until it can do something useful, but I'd appreciate any early feedback from anyone interested.
