Works in this branch:
http://github.com/jtimberman/chef/tree/CHEF-2815
Works with --bootstrap-version, but you have to specify the version with the build release. E.g., "0.10.4-6" or "0.10.6-1".
It doesn't implement the -s option to the install.sh script. I thought about having it, with --use-shell, but that is a rather narrow option for 'knife bootstrap' as it would only apply to this particular bootstrap template.
This means you can't tell ubuntu, debian, fedora or el platforms to install with the self-extracting install script. Other platforms should do this automatically based on the catch-all in install.sh, though.
While we've been using the name "omnibus", this is really the name of the project that builds the full-stack artifacts, which are packaged named "chef-full". The template should be named consistently, so I propose "chef-full.erb".
