----------------------------------------
When defining a set of custom facts via ruby libraries, the libraries are not 
loaded deterministically on different operating systems and/or filesystems.  
When a ruby-defined fact definition relies on the definition of other 
ruby-defined facts, the facts may not be evaluated depending upon the operating 
system / filesystem in use (e.g., Mac OSX by default appears to sort, while 
some variants of linux on ext3 appears to use another ordering).

The problem is that the return result from ruby's Dir.entries varies from 
platform to platform.

The obvious fix is to sort the return value from Dir.entries before use.

A pull request with specs for the problem and a resolution is forthcoming.
