Hi Ryan,

First, see http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.5/usage/library.html for
details on what it means to use Fab as a library.

Second, re: a fabfile, when not used via 'fab' fabfiles are literally
just Python modules, same as anything else. Import the specific
subroutines you want to use, and call them using the 'execute()'
function (as outlined in that link). execute() honors decorators and
such so you can often get similar behavior to what 'fab' would do for
a given task.

Best,
Jeff
