Unless the class `concat::setup` has been manually included into the
manifest before using the `concat` / `concat::fragment` defined types,
the puppet master will generate this warning while compiling the catalog.
Tue Oct 15 14:05:06 -0700 2013 Scope(Concat[/etc/exports]) (warning):
Could not look up qualified variable 'concat::setup::root_group'; class
concat::setup has not been evaluated
The need to `include concat::setup` directly into the manifest has never
been part of the documented API.

Previously, the concatfragments.sh script was would default to using
GNU-specific flags for find, sort, and xargs. This necessitated
explicit passing of a "gnu = false" parameter to the concat define in
order to successfully run the script without GNU-specific flags when
working with systems that do not by default include GNU versions of the
utilities (solaris, for example).
This commit modifies the concatfragments script such that GNU versions
of the utilities are not needed at all. It does this while preserving
the original use case for the GNU flags, which was to allow special
characters (like spaces) in the filenames, which it accomplished by
using GNU flags to separate fields using null characters instead of
newlines.
In order to preserve backwards-compatibility with existing puppet
installations that make use of the "gnu = false" parameter, the
parameter list for the concat define has not been changed. Rather, the
gnu parameter is now deprecated and ignored.
To be able to use the module as an unprivileged user we need to
adjust certain things:
* only enforce the run user and group if we are root and can
actually change the user
* set owner/group of our files and directories to our own user/group
* place the concat script in a location we can write -> use the
concat dir for that.
The concat warn parameter can now be any string (and needs to include
the appropriate commenting character) and will then override the default
(which still gets printed when warn=>true).
