[chef] Using report handlers to remove old files

[Alex Kiernan < >]

We've accumulated a load of tomcat installations and having refactored
our installations of it so it's now a single definition which installs
the version of tomcat you asked for (so you drop it into the recipe
you want it in) I now want to clean up all the unused ones.

My thinking is to add a report handler which figures out which
versions of tomcat we actually used in a run, drop that to a file
somewhere locally and then use that file next time around to clean up
all the dead ones...

Or am I missing something and making this more work than needed!
