I have started going down this route. I think what I am going to do is
to integrate caphub with chef solo at this point. I have set up a
caphub structure, I plan on checking it out of git (or putting it
inside the kitchen as a submodule) and then shelling out to it.  This
allows me to deploy both manually and automatically via chef

This is what the deploy resource is attempting to do but not doing quite 
right.
