yum plugin for etckeeper, this similar to the apt hooks

this plugin works on SL4 and SL5 based systems, it should work
with any RHEL based distro. this will probably need to be
updated when the next version of etckeeper comes out as the
current dev version's list installed hook does the right thing.
