[chef] Re: The route resource provide in Chef

[Jesse Nelson < >]

there was a ticket 1598 that covered this issue, and i have a commit in my 
tree against that bug here:

https://github.com/spheromak/chef/tree/CHEF-1598

This doesn't look to have been merged ever, but i didn't notice cause i've 
been running it here in a cookbook for a long time.
