[ANN] Charm Tools 1.2.3 released

[Antonio Rosales]

Thanks for getting this out.

I have been eagerly awaiting the integration of Charm Tools and Amulet
to ease the burden of writing tests in charms. I am looking forward to
adding much needed tests into charms.

`charm info` is a nice touch for quick access to the readme to look at
examples at the command line.

-thanks,
Antonio
