Juju Academy

[Gustavo Niemeyer]

This is _extremely_ cool, Marco. Very well done!

One tiny suggestion, for anyone interested in contributing: it would
be great to have "ls [-la]" at some point. That's the first thing most
people will type when seeing a prompt, and gives them room for
navigating to the juju configuration directory.
