[chef] 0.7.16wt1 unofficial release

[Bryan McLellan < >]

We've been running a patched version of 0.7.14 for a while at
Webtrends. With the release of 0.7.16 and no more planned 0.7.x
releases until 0.8 ships, a couple people requested I make that tree
public so I've pushed it to github.

http://github.com/btm/chef/tree/0.7.16wt1

0.7.16wt1 contains the security patches from 0.7.16, plus:

    * [CHEF-706] - mount provider fails to mount samba/cifs devices
(Device does not exist)
    * [CHEF-634] - UI fails silently when unable to save node
    * [CHEF-659] - UI expands some escaped characters from JSON, then
fails to encode them again

There are Ubuntu karmic packages compiled in my Launchpad PPA.
Instructions for using a PPA for those unfamiliar are available at the
PPA URL:
