I'm actually thinking that I want to use the web_app definition instead and 
let it call apache_site with the appropriate parameters.

As I understand it, I can tell web_app what template file I want to use, as 
well as the server name and the docroot, and have it do the rest of the work 
for me.  Then all I should have to do is to create the appropriate template 
file that gets put into cookbooks/apache2/templates/default next to 
web_app.conf.erb, with all the other definitions that I want like the SSL 
self-signed certificate file, the SSL key, etc....

At least, this is the solution that I'm going to try and see if I can get it 
working.
