[chef] RE: Re: Re: Re: Exiting a run mid way through

My trouble is, I'm trying to find a way to return(and thus end) as part of 
the run, not the compile. I also can't raise an Exception because I need the 
run to complete successfully so the report handlers will run.

return aborts the current recipe during the compile phase, but it wouldn't 
have any affect on later recipes or during run. Useful more for stuff like 
per-platform guard clauses.
