Enjoy playbook runs enhanced by cowsay

Most systems management programs do not have super-cow powers. Apt says it does, but then, when do you get to see the cows? Ansible has a small easter egg that solves this problem.

First off, install cowsay as appropriate for your OS, so it winds up in a known path

yum install cowsay
# apt-get install cowsay
# etc

Now run a playbook. Cows will now announce each new play as they start.
