Create bootstrap templates that use the chef ingredients

[mattray]

This is more of a feature suggestion. Since we're making a local cache of the full stack clients, it seems we could make bootstrap templates that re-use these when bootstrapping remote boxes. Rather than call an install.sh, the template could just scp the file via knife. So something like

knife ingredient bootstrap box1.example.com -d chef-ingredient-ubuntu-12.04

Would bootstrap the box and send the client across the wire.

I like that idea, you could do the same with chef-server.....

I'm already doing something similar over in pxe_dust, where the server caches the chef-clients and generates a bootstrap template that points to it. Since you're using the new chef server, you've got nginx already there.
