Gearset API to externally trigger Gearset actions
It would be incredibly helpful to trigger Gearset comparisons, validations, deployments, etc. from an external source using an API. Our team uses GitHub for our VCS, which provides the perfect opportunity to:
1. design webhooks to validate changes in order to approve a Pull Request
2. design webhooks to automatically deploy changes to an org once the PR is approved.
Additionally, CI tools such as Jenkins, TravisCI, TeamCity, etc could use such an API to design complex builds that still employ Gearset, but use the external tool for additional actions outside of what Gearset provides for their CI features.

I'd like to wrap our deployments into a full "just click go" deployment process - so it could be, freeze users, take a backup of some data, ***deploy Gearset draft deployment via API***, disable WFs/validations/triggers etc.., do some data extraction, manipulation and re load, re-enable WFs etc.. blah blah

This is a huge need. Several shops are willing to cooperate with a tool like GearSet if there is the ability to invoke activity as well as receive response. CLI wrapping the API would be huge.
