[Yt-dev] Introducing the yt hub

[Cameron Hummels]

Hey Matt,

I used this the other day to submit my "resubmit" script (for 
automatically resubmitting long enzo jobs to the kraken queue), and the 
yt hubsubmit script worked beautifully.  This will make it super easy 
for people to submit their own scripts and such to the hub for sharing 
with the community.  Great work!
