That fix

[yaleman]

Refers #28

Changes:

 self.configuration.required_fields = [self.field]

This tells Splunk "no really, I want this field"

self.configuration.clear_required_fields = True

.. and only this field!

With pytest installed, tests/test_ssc.py will test basic functionality of the stream() function and hex-encoding a field.

Thanks for the help! I managed to get as far as prepare() but didn't get the field name in there :)
