  Description     : Plugin that adds functionality to Chef's Knife CLI
for configuring/interacting with nodes running Microsoft Windows

This plugin adds additional functionality to the Chef Knife CLI tool
for configuring/interacting with nodes running Microsoft Windows. The
subcommands should function on any system running Ruby 1.9.3+ but
nodes being configured via these subcommands require Windows Remote
Management (WinRM) 1.0+.WinRM allows you to call native objects in
Windows. This includes, but is not limited to, running PowerShell
scripts, batch scripts, and fetching WMI variables. For more
information on WinRM, please visit Microsoft's WinRM site. You will
want to familiarize yourself with (certain key aspects) of WinRM
because you will be writing scripts / running commands with this tool
to get you from specific point A to specific point B.

It usefull for those who works with chef.

I plan to maintain it inside a ruby package extra team.
