That's simple enough, and the docs [1] for creating a custom fact are 
mostly straightforward.

The one thing I am unclear on, in the "plugins in modules" [2] document, it 
says that if you are going to put your custom stuff in a module (such as in 
their example, named 'custom') it says to follow the standard layout, and 
that you have to have a manifests/init.pp.

If all that is actually in the thing is lib/facter/myfact.rb, what do I put 
in the manifests/init.pp ? Is it enough for it to exist but be empty?

The document was somewhat unclear on this, or I missed it when reading.
