I have set up something similar myself. I have a repo and a boot
script which puts the proper keys in proper places and pulls the repo
down, then I run chef-solo against that directory structure (kitchen).
 I got the idea from pocketknife which from what I can gather is
inspired by littlechef but is written in ruby.  What I don't have is
the search and databag functionality as they look for a server.

Is there a way I can just add the search and databag functionality
into my own project without adopting littlechef?
