Ouch, good point. It doesn't control that case :-/ But it should. I
think I will review it. Long time since I did it.

This was reusing the Chef lib 'FileEdit', but this is a bit limited

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/util/file_edit.rb

By now it's probably good idea to use the 'not_if'.
